Trauma Informed Care & SMI

Why Trauma Informed Care?

Whether we care about the homeless living on the street, human trafficking victims, children in foster care, women in unplanned pregnancies, or our own family members, we need to know how to relate, communicate, and be as compassionate as possible. Trauma Informed Care not only makes us more compassionate human beings to others, but most importantly, it teaches us how to be more compassionate to ourselves. We cannot give what we do not have. These invaluable resources might just change your life.
