Özet:

TTrauma arises as a result of various negative events that threaten the lives and physical integrity of individuals. Trauma can have negative effects on the health and interpersonal relationships of individuals in the short and long term. The fact that trauma causes negative consequences on human life has also brought up the issue of developing practice approaches for individuals with a traumatic life history. For this reason, the subject of trauma-informed care has come to the fore in the literature. Trauma-informed care is built on being aware of the prevalence and effects of trauma and shaping practices and institutional arrangements for individuals with a history of trauma. Trauma-informed care is an approach that can guide the science and practice of social work that studies individuals and communities with a history of trauma. In this study, the assumptions, basic principles and application areas of trauma-informed care put forward by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the United States were included and tried to be adapted to the field of social work. Since the subject of social work and trauma is not sufficiently covered in the literature in Turkey, the study will contribute to the literature.
