One word comes to mind to describe Trauma-Informed Care: that word is…compassion. With Latin origins, compassion means to suffer with (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Compassion upgrades empathy to include, not only the sharing of the emotional experience but also a desire to assist with alleviating the distress (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Trauma-informed behavioral health practitioners operate from a perspective of understanding (i.e. empathy) and intentional responsiveness (i.e. compassion); this approach focuses on the physical, psychological, and emotional needs of the survivor and the community (SAMHSA, 2014).
