A structured response to trauma

Understanding the Time & Tier-Based Approach to Trauma

Introduction:

A structured response to trauma is crucial for adequate recovery. The Time & Tier-Based Approach to Trauma provides a clear framework for this process. Here's a quick overview of how this approach works. 

The Five-Step Timeline:

Immediately:

Initiate the trauma response as soon as the event occurs to stabilise the situation (Porges, 2011).

Following Days:

Begin documentation, assess needs, and plan for long-term support (Herman, 1997).

Week:

Review the initial response and make necessary adjustments (Blaustein & Kinniburgh, 2010).

Month:

Conduct a review to ensure ongoing support is effective (Van der Kolk, 2014).

Year - Review:

Evaluate the response to refine future strategies (Perry & Szalavitz, 2017).

Stakeholder Involvement:

Different groups of stakeholders are engaged at each stage, from immediate family to the broader community, ensuring a comprehensive support network.

Conclusion:

The Time & Tier-Based Approach provides a thorough and effective trauma response, helping individuals and communities recover more effectively.
