Notes:	"From the outset, trauma-informed care has been explicitly envisaged as a systemic change approach that is reflected at all levels of the service system To provide trauma-informed services, all staff of an organization, from the receptionist to the direct care worker to the board of directors, must understand how violence impacts on the lives of the people being served so that every interaction is consistent with the recovery process and reduces the possibility of re-traumatization. (Elliot et al., 2005, p 462) As a result of lack of awareness, a system's usual operating procedures, practice standards and treatment response can inadvertently re-traumatise consumers1 of these services. A trauma-informed service system thus has two key dimensions: ? awareness of a consumer's history of past and current abuse; and ? system-wide understanding of the role of violence and victimisation in the lives of consumers of mental health services and 'to use that understanding to design service systems. The research and commentary in this area draw a distinction between trauma-informed care and trauma-specific services (which are designed to treat the symptoms and impacts of trauma such as grounding techniques, dialectical behaviour therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, exposure therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, and narrative or behavioural therapies). Organisational principles and toolkits have been developed to guide the transformation of services and settings in becoming trauma informed. " from Exective Summary Creative Commons
