Trauma-Informed Care: Empowering Warriors to Promote Recovery


The aims of the program are to define trauma-informed care, and identify why this approach is particularly relevant for military-connected patients. In addition, presenters will provide practical strategies that providers and organizations can use to deliver care in a trauma-informed way. Presenters will identify “best practices” for trauma-informed care across a range of disciplines and specialties, and discuss how to implement these practices in a way that is culturally-competent for military-connected veterans.

 

Participants will be able to:

  1. Appraise the unique healthcare needs and challenges experienced by trauma survivors when seeking medical care.
  2. Articulate specific strategies for providing trauma-informed care.
