Current events like the COVID-19 pandemic, public images of police brutality, and an economic downturn have led to an increase in long-lasting physical and emotional stress in people across the world. These traumatic experiences have led to or exacerbated mental illnesses, substance use, and physical health conditions.
Trauma-informed care (TIC) has become a widely recognized paradigm for creating safe spaces for individuals who have experienced trauma and reducing the likelihood that accessing services would cause re-traumatization. But what exactly is trauma and the trauma-informed care framework?
Nellie Galindo, MSW, MSPH and Melissa Lewis-Stoner, MSW, LCSW-C will share the basic components of trauma and the trauma-informed care framework. During the webinar, you’ll learn:
- The basic components of trauma and the key elements of the trauma-informed care framework
- How COVID-19 has impacted trauma in both people served and your staff
- How to recognize trauma in your staff and prevent burnout/vicarious trauma
- How to view your organization through a trauma-informed lens (and examples of what a trauma-informed organization looks like)
- What to consider before embarking on a TIC journey at your organization
This webinar will be hosted by Relias, which provides healthcare organizations with training, performance, and talent solutions.
