Case study demonstrates a trauma-informed model improves outcomes for healthcare staff, indicating a need for better mental health services.
Rationale Health and care professionals experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at higher rates than the general population with occupational trauma being as prevalent as is personal trauma. Aims and Objectives The aim of this case study was to demonstrate the trauma‐informed model of care implemented as part of the trauma pathway within the Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) Resilience Hub. Method We use a case study methodology to illustrate how the pathway supported a member of healthcare staff who struggled with symptoms of PTSD due to personal trauma and was unable to access support via other mental health services. Results and Conclusion We conclude that more services are needed to support health and care staff with psychological difficulties in a trauma‐informed and psychologically safe way.
