Making The Link – Trauma & High-Needs Consumers

Recently I listened in on a conversation with a care coordinator working with a targeted group of consumers with complex support needs. His statement that caught my attention: “Many bad things have happened to these people and that won’t be undone in any short period of time. To help them, I need to get to know them.”

That seemed to be trauma-informed care in action – a subject getting more attention in care management programs. The effects of trauma have been better understood with more understanding of epigenetics – that what you do and what happens to you can change . . .
