Trauma Informed Practice Toolkit
Enhancing Trauma-Informed Practice in Victoria’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Services
About the toolkit
Practical tools are available to strengthen trauma-informed practice in mental health and wellbeing services. These tools can be used by workers and leaders to guide everyday work, reflect as a team, and build safer, more supportive mental health services for people who have experienced trauma.
The tools were developed by Phoenix Australia as the lead agency for Transforming Trauma Victoria, with funding from the Victorian Department of Health and the Victoria Collaborative Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing. They support the principles in “Our workforce, our future”, a framework that outlines the capabilities of the Victorian workforce.
We worked closely with three mental health services across metropolitan and regional Victoria to design the tools. This involved collaborating with workers, leaders, service users, their families and carers to shape the tools and come up with solutions to day-to-day problems.
