From A to Recovery — Trauma Add-on (Universal)

The Trauma add-on is designed for clients with trauma histories across populations. Categories are grounded in trauma-informed principles — body awareness, safety, grounding, and post-traumatic growth.

Use clinician judgment on readiness before introducing trauma-specific content. This card is not a trauma processing tool — it's a conversation opener that invites clients to name what helps them feel safe, what they've survived, and what they're still healing.

Layer it onto the Substance Use, Mental Health, or Youth Edition base decks.
