The Four "R"s to a Trauma-informed Community: A Faith-based Video Series with Tonja Myles

From the website, Healing from Trauma Baton Rouge: "Trauma-informed is a way of being that respects and values all people. Most religions have traditions of hospitality, service, compassion, and healing. Being trauma-informed builds on those values to strengthen communities and support people who have been hurt by violence or trauma.

A person or setting is trauma-informed if they reflect the 4 R’s:

Realize the widespread impact of trauma and potential paths for recovery;
Recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in individuals, families, and others;
Respond by fully integrating knowledge about trauma; and
Resist doing further harm by creating an environment that avoids unintentionally reminding people of past trauma.
