Trauma-informed Care During COVID19
This pandemic renders everyone vulnerable to trauma, from those who are marginalized like the homeless, poor, and disabled to those who previously felt invincible and now realize they are neither immune to or insulated from this insidious virus. In addition to the urgent tasks of slowing the spread of infection and treating the ill, there must be a focus on implementing trauma informed care (TIC) at every level of care, in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and community settings.
