<p>Most people accessing mental health and addiction services have experienced trauma. For those working in community services, treatment agencies and hospitals, providing "trauma-informed care" requires an understanding of the effects of trauma, and of how to create programs, spaces and policies that place priority on trauma survivors' safety, choice and control. </p>

<p> </p>

<p><em>Becoming Trauma Informed</em> describes trauma-informed practice at the individual, organizational and systemic levels. This multi-authored collection brings together the voices of those who have integrated trauma-informed principles into various mental health and addiction treatment and social service environments, and of the diverse groups with which they work.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p><em>Becoming Trauma Informed </em>is an important resource for those who are working, or who are planning to work as addiction and mental health practitioners and program and system planners.</p>
