Why does trauma-informed care matter?

Becoming trauma-informed is particularly important for homelessness organisations, as studies show a significant percentage of individuals facing multiple disadvantages have experienced complex trauma in their lives. Moreover, the experience of homelessness itself is traumatic.

By adopting trauma-informed approaches, your organisation can:

- Improve service user outcomes

- Cultivate a resilient and empowered workforce

- Reduce incidents and enhance safety

- Meet funding requirements and secure funding opportunities
