Co-Director of Mountain Plains ATTC, Thomasine Heitkamp, interviews a national expert on trauma informed care, Dr. Tami DeCoteau, who offers insight to providers and educators interested in gaining a deeper understanding of trauma, including content on historical trauma and adverse childhood experiences. This 60-minute video interview presentation created by Mountain Plains ATTC is designed as a professional learning tool to explore how trauma affects the human population. The science of trauma-informed care compells us to look more deeply into the human physiological process and understand how DNA provides evidence of intergenerational trauma. Recent research has shown that emotional trauma often affects the human nervous system long-term. Study of epigenetic DNA demonstrates that the substance use disorder need for self-regulation via alcohol or drugs is actually a physiological process and not a moral choice. This video will address questions such as: What is trauma informed care? How do we help society to recognize that substance use disorder is a chronic disease and must be treated as such? Why do we see intergenerational effects of trauma within certain communities or families?   The production is conveniently separated into topic modules with designated time codes to allow viewers to determine which subjects will be reviewed and how much time is necessary to cover each area of discussion.   Topic Modules  |  Time Codes Section I – Intro and General Overview                                            00:00 (10 min 54 sec)     Definition and Explanation Triggers Adverse Childhood Experiences Addressing Trauma Brain Development Complex Developmental Trauma Trauma and Addiction Section II -- Treatment for Secondary Trauma                                  10:54 (11 min 9 sec) Self-Regulation Skills Brain and Nervous System Epigenetics Research Integrated Care Returning Veterans Strategies for Self-Regulation Section III -- Evidence-Based Practices in Tribal Communities         22:03 (6 min 1 sec) Boarding Schools Relationship Trauma Intergenerational Effects Federal Legislation National Healthcare Model Section IV – Integrated Trauma-Informed Care                                28:04 (13 min 56 sec) Substance Use Disorders Big Ts and Little Ts Section V – Moving Forward                                                              42:00 (17 min 39 sec) Education and Collaboration Role of Technology Clinical Advancements Specialties Wrap-Up   Presenter: Tami DeCoteau, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. DeCoteauTami DeCoteau obtained a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology in 2003 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with specialization in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders for adults, adolescents, and children.
