What Is Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP)?

Trauma-Informed Practice isn’t about being a therapist.
It’s about understanding that trauma is real, widespread, and lasting; especially within Indigenous communities who continue to experience the intergenerational impacts of colonization, residential schools, land dispossession, and systemic racism.

Being trauma-informed means:
- Prioritizing emotional safety, not just physical safety.
- Recognizing and avoiding re-traumatization.
- Practicing consent, transparency, and collaboration.
- Understanding that “resistance” or “disengagement” may be coping mechanisms, not defiance.

Responding with compassion over control, curiosity over judgment.
Trauma-Informed Practice begins with awareness — and continues through empathy, accountability, and community healing.

At ICLD, we understand that learning and leadership are not just intellectual, they are emotional, cultural, and deeply personal.

Our culturally informed programs create space where Indigenous learners feel seen, respected, and supported in their full experience. This means recognizing the weight some people carry and offering tools that build confidence, trust, and collective strength.

We focus on restoring what was always there: dignity, voice, and belonging.
