While much has been written about trauma-informed practice, little has focused on developing such a practice for older adult clients. Although many clinicians are aware of the pervasiveness of trauma in their younger clients, they are often unaware that the after-effects of trauma not only remain present with older adults but sometimes actually worsen. In addition, even for clients who have never been formally diagnosed with PTSD, certain things may trigger past trauma, and this too can happen more with older adults. Some clinicians shy away from doing trauma work with older adults, believing they may be too fragile, while others may be too quick to misdiagnose their clients or perceive them as non-compliant instead of recognizing their responses as being a result of their history.

The degree to which a mental health clinician will have contact with school staff varies. There may be no reason to contact the school in one’s course of working with a child; a clear clinical reason is needed before contacting school staff. On the other hand, a clinician may end up partnering with one (or more) school staff members. This would be appropriate, for example, when there are concerns about suicidality. It is in the best interest of clients for school staff, family, and community mental health providers to form teams who communicate effectively and function well to ensure a child’s safety. How the team functions may even be a matter of life or death. Working together in the best interest of a child addresses not only the immediate concerns for a child’s safety, but also the child’s ongoing quality of life.
