Objectives: As mental health services move towards implementing ‘Trauma-informed care’, there is a need to consider the challenges posed within services and systems. This paper raises some of the challenges associated with integrating TIC into the current public mental health system. . Conclusion: The lack of clarity about expectations of trauma-informed approaches causes difficulties for its integration into services, but the wider political context of mental health services is also of relevance. Transparent and ongoing debate is required about approaches to mental health care, to ensure the system meets the needs of those who require it, while questioning what other purposes it may be serving at social and political levels.
