Trauma-Informed Care for Primary Care Professionals
Trauma, of many different kinds, is pervasive in our culture. People suffer and all too often the suffering continues long after the traumatizing event and affects both mental and physical health.
Trauma-Informed Care is an approach to healthcare that acknowledges the possibility of prior trauma and in which treatment environments are designed to heal without re-traumatizing. This live webinar will describe why adopting this approach can be an important step in providing truly patient-centered healthcare.
