Our Services / Trauma Informed Care

What is trauma-informed care?

Trauma-informed care (TIC) takes a patient-centered approach to health care that assumes a person is more likely than not to have a history of trauma. This acknowledgment plays a vital role in a patient’s medical care and ability to overcome health-related challenges trauma can cause.

At Sync Health, Angelia focuses on what happened to you rather than what’s wrong with you, so she can get a clearer understanding of your health needs. Taking a trauma-informed approach also helps her recognize and address past or present physical or sexual trauma that negatively affects your life and long-term health.

Trauma-informed care also lowers your risk for retraumatization, which can trigger negative feelings or reactions that affect you physically, mentally, and emotionally.

What are the goals of trauma-informed care?

The trauma-informed care services available at Sync Health follow several core principles, including:

Empowerment

The resources available at Sync Health help validate and strengthen an individual’s resilience and ability to heal from trauma.

Angelia also delivers the highest standard of inclusive medical care regardless of ethnicity, race, age, or sexual orientation and recognizes the associated traumas of stereotypes and biases.

What are the benefits of trauma-informed care?

The trauma-informed care services available at Sync Health offer many benefits for both individual patients and the medical staff.
