Trauma Aware Care
Description
Do you know what it means to be trauma aware?
In this episode of No Place Like Homb, we welcome back Dusk Liney to chat more about her work, not only supporting survivors of complex trauma through the transition into motherhood, but also providing specialised training in trauma aware care to practitioners.
Throughout the journey that is matrescence, a lack of clear communication and understanding from healthcare practitioners can lead to distress and re-traumatisation for survivors of complex trauma and can have long-lasting impact on postpartum recovery.
Providing support that honours each individuals story and responds to their specific needs can create an environment where survivors have an opportunity to thrive.
