You can adopt trauma-informed practices, but I think that a lot of people use that as a kind of token statement. It sounds really good to say we do trauma-informed...but when we look at the reality of the situation, we're failing to do that. When we're sending a youth who was sexually abused and raped by multiple people to a male counsellor, who then asks her to close her eyes with her back to a door, and when she can't do that, tells her that there's no point in her coming back, it's bad.
On February 17th, 2017. See this statement in context.
