Taking a Trauma informed approach to the delivery of care and support

  • Summary

  • Trauma is a pervasive experience that can affect people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and walks of life, including older people. In this episode we focus on the importance of being trauma aware and informed when delivering aged care services and supports.

    We discuss the different experiences of trauma for some older people, and consider how these might impact, or present as barriers for an older person accessing or receiving aged care. In addition to highlighting the relationship between trauma informed care and a rights-based approach we share our thoughts about how good trauma informed practice aligns with the delivery of inclusive, person centre care that is tailored to the specific needs, preferences, and experiences of each older person.
