Reflection Point
Consider trauma-informed care as a framework and approach:
What does a trauma-informed organization (or veterinary setting) look like?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), those in the workplace:
- Realize the widespread impact of trauma and understand potential paths for recovery.
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, staff, and others involved.
- Respond by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices.
- Seek to actively resist retraumatizing individuals involved.
How can this be actively achieved in your veterinary space?
