This animation is about adopting a trauma-informed approach. It supports workers to adapt the way they work to make a positive difference to people affected by trauma and adversity. It conveys the experience of trauma and protective strategies that people affected by trauma may develop, supporting workers to think about these in their work. It helps workers to resist re-traumatising people, and to maximise the participation of people affected by trauma.
