FAQ about Trauma Informed Care (TIC)

What does trauma-informed care mean?

The easiest way to define trauma-informed care or simply TIC is the following:

TIC is a form of therapy, based on knowledge of trauma’s impact. Its main goal is to provide the correct environment together with the required services and staff. Though today there is no unified definition of this term, it includes the following aspects:

  • understanding of the trauma and its prevalence
  • working with  possible negative impacts or triggers
  • Individualizing the role and functionality of the existing services
