SAMHSA’s Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach

The purpose of this paper is to develop a working
concept of trauma and a trauma-informed approach
and to develop a shared understanding of these
concepts that would be acceptable and appropriate
across an array of service systems and stakeholder
groups. SAMHSA puts forth a framework for the
behavioural health specialty sectors that can be
adapted to other sectors.
