A Better word than trauma-informed?

Corinna WestMember

This word possibly sets people up for failure. Like as if people can learn x y and z and they will "know enough about trauma," to stop doing it. It's a framing thing.

Yet the Milgram experiment and it's successors showed that all institutional settings will be coercive and dehumanizing. That people in charge of other people just default to force and cruelty. We can't eliminate it. We can only reduce it.

What about,

Trauma-reduction

Trauma-sensitive

Human-oriented

Safety supporting

Resilience promoting

ACES aware

Or other ways to describe this phenomenon? Share some ideas.
