Trauma Informed Care

Trauma informed care is grounded in and directed by a thorough understanding the neurological, biological, psychological and social effects of trauma and the prevalence of these experiences in those who seek and received mental health services. We integrate our knowledge about trauma into all aspects of our services. 

Bridge Psychological Services is committed to having a culture built on the core principles of Trauma Informed Care:
  • Trauma Understanding: through knowledge and understanding trauma and stress we can act compassionately and take well-informed steps towards wellness.
  • Safety & Security: increasing stability in our daily lives and having core physical and emotional safety needs met can minimize our stress reactions and allow us to focus our resources on wellness.
  • Cultural Humility & Responsiveness – when we are open to understanding cultural differences and respond to them sensitively, we make each other feel understood and wellness is enhanced.
  • Compassion & Dependability – when we experience compassionate and dependable relationships, we re-establish trusting connections with others that fosters mutual wellness.
  • Collaboration & Empowerment – when we are prepared for and given real opportunities to make choices for ourselves and our care, we feel empowered and can promote our own wellness.
  • Resilience & Recovery – when we focus on our strengths and clear steps we can take toward wellness, we are more likely to be resilient and recover.
