## What is Trauma-Informed Care?

[Trauma-informed care](https://www.traumainformedcare.chcs.org/what-is-trauma-informed-care/) approaches client’s mental health needs in a way that takes into account any trauma that they may have experienced. A key goal of trauma-informed care is to prevent any re-traumatization that could prevent clients from continuing to seek care. When used effectively, [trauma-informed care](https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/programs_campaigns/childrens_mental_health/atc-whitepaper-040616.pdf) enables clinicians to ensure that mental health care processes, procedures, and settings intentionally protect clients from re-traumatization.
