Trauma-informed care for wellness has become an essential part of behavioral health care for communities in need. The consistent exposure to traumatic experiences places staff at high risk of secondary traumatic stress and emotional depletion impacting their own well-being and their ability to provide empathetic person-centered quality services. Many providers have their own trauma-lived experiences that can both benefit or hinder their ability to support their communities and/or exacerbate their existing trauma responses.
This interactive training will focus on trauma responsiveness which is when organizations actively seek to support staff wellness using trauma-informed guiding principles. The content will identify specific strategies and activities that organizations can implement to reduce and prevent chronic emotional stress, empower provider self-care, and promote a culture of health and wellness.
