Trauma-Informed Principles
Northern Children’s Services is committed to fostering a therapeutic environment rooted in safety, nonviolence, and resilience. Our policies are guided by trauma-informed principles, ensuring that we create a supportive and healing atmosphere for clients and staff.
A trauma-informed approach recognizes that past experiences, including trauma, can significantly impact a person’s behavior, emotions, and interactions. Therefore, we strive to:
- Use emotional intelligence: Respond with empathy and awareness, even in difficult situations.
- Communicate effectively: Listen actively, ask clarifying questions, and avoid judgmental language.
- Understand trauma’s impact: Be aware that clients or colleagues may react based on past experiences, not just the present moment.
- Apply person-first, strengths-based language: Focus on people’s strengths and abilities rather than defining them by their challenges (e.g., saying "a person experiencing homelessness" instead of "a homeless person").
By adhering to these principles, we ensure that our workplace is not only effective but also compassionate and inclusive for everyone
