I want to know more about the trauma-informed care in services for homeless youth, thanks!

No problem.

Thanks for your detailed answer.

The relatively recent movement toward trauma-informed care in services for homeless youth moves organizations beyond meeting crisis-oriented basic needs. Trauma-informed care involves recognizing the impact of trauma in young people’s lives and structuring programming intentionally to address trauma symptoms through strengths-based, safe, empowering services. One key principle of trauma-informed care is trauma awareness, which means that agency staff is aware of how young people’s behaviors may represent symptoms in response to traumatic experiences. Agencies may screen for trauma experiences, may offer trauma-specific interventions, and may train all staff about the common symptoms of trauma and appropriate responses when faced with these symptoms.
