Trauma is prevalent and all-too-often underreported, yet crucial, relevant and necessary given so many in our communities of care will encounter some level of trauma at some point in their life. At the core of creating a safe environment through trauma-informed practice, is the creation of visceral safety and empowerment for our patients, which then yields to a healing relationship. Continuing to build a trauma-informed society and healthcare approach is critical to ensure patient-centred care.
