Trauma-Informed
Approach
OWLAG is a trauma-informed institution. The primary goal of trauma-informed learning, teaching and care is to ensure that all services, interventions, and organisational culture and practices are aligned with understanding the impact of trauma across all areas of functioning. The trauma-informed approach supports recovery and aligns organisational culture so that all areas of the organisation respond “to the effects of trauma at all levels” as opposed to offering interventions or holding practices that are re-traumatising.
