Trauma-informed communication is vital to improving a person’s physical, mental and emotional well-being and should be integrated into all social spaces.
Many of the communication techniques used in trauma-informed care can be viewed as traditional, common-sense manners.
To create healthy social environments:
Communicate respectfully
Be respectful of others’ life experiences- what happened to a person is not their fault
Build healthy relationships – relationships build or break us
Be an active listener

Be aware of your body language and use proper body language
