Cover Story: Trauma-informed care requires workers to be skilled in building and maintaining relationships and managing emotional challenges, yet we know relatively little about how workers’ personal histories and capacities shape their experience delivering trauma-informed care. Using survey data from frontline workers, the study shows that staff who are more sensitive to rejection are more likely to feel disengaged at work and less emotionally connected to clients. However, supportive work conditions, including higher job satisfaction and trauma knowledge, appear to buffer these challenges. The findings suggest that creating healthy and sustainable trauma-informed care environments depends not only on policies and procedures, but also on how organizations support staff in navigating relational challenges at work. View this paper
