Barton, a foster carer who founded a charity that provides therapeutic residential care for traumatized and homeless children in Australia, Gonzalez, a psychologist who directs care service at the foundation, and Tomlinson, a social care consultant, outline a model of care based on the foundation's theory and practice for use by managers, decision makers, child care workers, social workers, mental health workers, and others working with traumatized children and young people in therapeutic residential care and settings like foster care. Using a trauma-informed approach that takes into account the child's experience at the individual, group, organization, and community levels, and drawing from community psychology, psychodynamic, attachment, and neurobiological trauma theories, they explain the impact of trauma on child development; practical aspects of care, from forming therapeutic relationships to the importance of the home environment and daily routines in the holding environment; transitions, aftercare, and outreach; and outcomes-based approaches.
