About This Course

This webinar strives to explore the question of how to practice trauma-informed care. Since understanding trauma itself is key to providing ethical and effective care in traumatized populations, we will begin by diving deeply into definitions and types of trauma and elucidate its impacts on the brain, body, and behavior. We will then utilize SAMHSA’s principles of trauma-informed care as a base from which to understand strategies to practice these principles in a direct services context. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own role as providers in providing trauma-informed care.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Define trauma.
  • Discern the types of trauma.
  • Recognize trauma’s impacts on the brain, body, and behavior.
  • Apply principles of trauma-informed care to direct practice with clients and service users.
