Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: This paper describes the emergence of trauma-informed care in both the international and Australian service contexts. Since the early 2000s, human services, criminal justice and community welfare services have endeavored to incorporate an understanding of trauma into their organisational structures, treatment services and day-to-day practices – that is, to become trauma- informed. This was the case even if the service itself did not work directly with trauma, and a considerable body of scholarship, as well as practice and guidance literature, has developed around the notion of being trauma-informed.
