A high stress clinical environment like a hospital can be a threatening and frightening place for a child. Staff at all levels can contribute to an aura of healing and wellbeing by understanding and practicing trauma-informed care. Providing care that is trauma-informed means adapting practices, communication strategies, physical spaces, and more to make hospital spaces less anxiety-inducing and consequently less likely to re-traumatize the children and adolescents receiving care. This class seeks to help learners conceptualize the nature of this problem and offers practices that reduce the risk of re-traumatization for the young people in their care.
Define trauma and trauma-informed care
Consider the implications of research on childhood adversity
