Trauma-Informed
NorthCare is committed to being trauma informed; understanding the effects of trauma including but not limited to physical and/or sexual abuse, domestic violence, neglect, disasters; and implementing emerging culturally competent best practices in trauma treatment. NorthCare is dedicated to recognizing and responding to the needs of individuals living with mental illness and substance abuse and their families and believes that all adults and children who request services, regardless of which “door” they enter, should be assessed for trauma.
Through the use of NorthCare services, consumers and families have an opportunity to achieve an enhanced quality of life by easing emotional pain and suffering, breaking dysfunctional patterns in families and assisting to minimize and/or prevent the development of more long-term and persistent mental illness. All services are recovery oriented, co-occurring capable, trauma informed, strengths based and culturally competent with consumers and providers working as partners in treatment.
