#trauma-informed-care

The frontline, most-present caregiver in psychiatric and developmental settings — keeping vulnerable patients safe through observation, de-escalation, and connection rather than control, while treating them with dignity.

Works the seam between person and environment, balancing client self-determination against the duty to protect, building on strengths and the least restrictive intervention.
