Trauma-informed care fundamentally shifts the approach to coronavirus disease 2019 — recognizing that most coronavirus disease 2019 has trauma roots that require specific attention.
What Trauma-Informed Care Means for Coronavirus Disease 2019

- Trustworthiness: Consistent, predictable care relationships
- Choice: Supporting client control over coronavirus disease 2019 treatment decisions
- Collaboration: Partnership rather than hierarchy in coronavirus disease 2019 treatment
- Empowerment: Building strengths alongside addressing coronavirus disease 2019
Why Trauma-Informed Coronavirus Disease 2019 Treatment Is Different
