Klinic Community Health Centre in Winnipeg developed the
Trauma-informed: Trauma Toolkit in 2013 to describe trauma and its effects as
well as guidelines for working with people affected by trauma.
Trauma and traumatic events, whether physical or
psychological, can occur to people in any or all stages of a person’s life. By
the time elderly residents are entering long-term care facilities they will have
a wealth of memories and experiences that they are carrying with them on top of
the effects of transitioning into a long-term care facility, or just the
physical experience of aging.
For health care providers, understanding trauma and its
acute and long-term effects on an individual enables one to provide care which
could foster healing and growth in residents and patients.
