Trauma-Informed Framework of Behavior Support Strategies - Trauma Sensitive

This framework is based on trauma-informed principles and knowledge. This framework is intentionally designed to teach and to shape the individual’s behaviour within consistent limits using non-blaming, non-shaming and empowering communication.

This trauma-informed framework of support also encourages discussing consequences that are clearly connected to the individual’s behaviour, yet also uses words that encourage thinking and the development of insight whilst preserving relational connections and attunement. The strategies included are divided into Ecological, Interactional and Skill Development. This resource provides you with Emotion and Feeling Cards as well as Calming and Coping Strategy Cards to support the implementation of the included strategies.

This resource is a great reference guide to support the development
