Study findings for a couple of years have been crucial in improving the healthcare services through informed care and practice. However, the results of the findings can only be of importance if they are translated and implemented into informed care and nursing practice. In retrospect, nursing is crucial facets of healthcare research and nursing practice findings implementation. The last study entailed formulation of pertinent nursing research questions on trauma medical care and practice. The investigations and assessment of the findings were made in a manner that would make the nursing practice care and are very easy and practical. As such, the overall expectations of the application of the findings and results concerning the trauma management would allow for positive and relevant impact. This proposal is therefore written specifically for the cultural hub and community centres board of management to support the implementation of trauma-informed care and practice.
Visions and Objectives
Our vision is to empower trauma recovery to the young adults in Australia who experienced childhood trauma and build a workforce around the intricate trauma treatment, informed trauma practice and management of vicarious trauma. In essence, our mission is to empower trauma recovery and support the survivors of the people who are indirectly affected. People who are around the survivors are not aware of what they are supposed to do to help the survivors, hence our purpose and intention are to help them understand in a manner that will empower the survivors on their course to healing. These practices will reflect the TIC principles which include trustworthiness and transparency which will see our organization decisions and operations build the trusts among the members and all the parties involved. The second principle of TIC which will guide our implementation will be collaboration and mutuality between the groups and all other parties involved and finally is empowerment, choice, and voice which will foster individual confidence by improving the weakness and building on the strengths of the survivors.
Our objective will extensively include:
Educating and training to capacitate workforce and enable them to understand how trauma works hence help the survivors recover in a trauma-informed way. This involves workers working in different capacities within the society who will closely work with the practitioners to therapeutically help the survivors affected by the complex trauma.
Create a trauma-informed society that understands the implications of any form of child assault whether it is violence or fire because in the long-term it affects the entire community. Hence, by creating an informed community that understands the complexities of trauma, we will be empowering the entire community.
Service Delivery Strategy
The strategy of TIC is broad and extensive hence it can be confusing to understand where to start or what is the most important thing to focus on. Therefore, our strategy assumes a hybrid approach that will incorporate response to immediate concerns and utilization of structured self-assessment as the framework for the implementation. Based on this approach, the community will be informed and the survivors empowered because there is something that resonates with their own experience or the close individuals they interact with on the daily basis.
Among the strategies that the organization will utilize to get feedback and response are engaging in follow-ups campaigns. This strategy will be crucial for identification and assessment of change. The alternative strategy of getting feedback is the examination of impact. This way the group will get to know the impact and change without asking for feedback. This will be implemented through the formation of survey team which will assess and set the different positive tone to gauge the impact of the TIC. Furthermore, among the evaluation processes that the team will use to gain feedback from the overall services is to move with resistance. The persistence of the whole process will then be crucial in determining the feedback and the impact of change.
Additionally, the service delivery that our team will utilize to empower social and cultural diversities are the inclusion of diverse need for skill set. The team will hire different people for every position and involve all the communities to tap into every difference and avoid the feeling of discrimination. Moreover, on the same note, the team will utilize the trauma-informed roll out. Essentially, this approach will ensure that the process is taken slowly to avoid disadvantaging a person. The questions and methods will be transparent to encourage everyone to interact and create connections.
Human Resources- Education and Training
Many people of different ages have experienced different types of emotional trauma. The program will undertake effective and useful training to the entire community and the survivors. Among the various training methods, we will use are the group formation and gathering of information to determine weaknesses and strengths of the individual which will also assist in the hiring process. At the worst, if trauma is not effectively managed they can get trauma sequelae. Additionally, some practices like restraint and seclusion can impact young people negatively risking them into retraumatization, injury, comorbid psychopathology, and death. In consideration of these factors, the psychiatry has responded by bringing trauma-informed care, a change in strategy which is in line with discrete interventions and treatment principles that are designed in a way to decrease the retraumatization rates through non-coercive staff-client and responsive interactions. After a few applications in benchmark studies, we have identified that the trauma-informed care approaches and frameworks have resulted in favorable and encouraging results.
Work Health and Safety
The mental health first aid is the assistance given to the person who is experiencing a mental health issue. The first aid resonates with the trauma-informed care because it is offered until the survivor or the person in need gets appropriate support and empowerment to address the problem. The aid and the TIC help empower the survivor by eliminating the stigma which is associated with the trauma and other mental health issues.
In TIC dignity of risk and duty of care are two overlapping terms which are mostly confused by the practitioners. The dignity of risk means the personal empowerment of the powerful person is crucial to reducing the risk to the vulnerable person. The most important aspect of the dignity of risk is the prevention of vulnerability. While on the other hand, the duty of care is the responsibility that the people should be reasonable enough and take care of their actions and inactions to avoid causing harm or injuries to others. In accordance to the TIC practices, the center needs to provide in-depth information about trauma and their potential repercussions to enhance the community strike the balance between the dignity of risk and the duty of care, hence, they will advocate clear communication and documentation as a means of mitigating injuries and possible traumas. Such considerations would reflect the TIC through enhancement of key principles such as trustworthiness, transparency, and control. Finally, among the key strategies that the centre should embrace is a collaboration as the ingredient for success.
