Abstract
The ubiquitous exposure to COVID-19 argues for governments to use a trauma-informed response as a
universal precaution, with the goal of promoting the recovery and resilience of their residents. How a
system defines trauma will drive its administrative policies, research, and clinical services. The Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-
Informed Approach offers governments a framework to define trauma and incorporate trauma-informed
principles and tasks into their COVID-19 responses.
