Define TIC and discuss the evidence from the literature concerning TIC
For assignment one trauma informed care (TIC). One of the key features of trauma informed care is to avoid re-traumatising the person through the practices of the service. For many people, being admitted to a mental health service places them at risk of witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event, and hence being re-traumatised. Some of these traumatising events include:
- physical assault
- sexual assault
- witnessing traumatic events
- being around frightening or violent patients
- being secluded
- being restrained
- feeling medications are used as a threat or punishment
- unwanted sexual advances
- inadequate privacy
