Trauma-Informed Practice: An Organizational Approach to Changing the Healthcare Delivery System
August 8, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Presented by:
Alison Fuedo, MSW, LSW, Social Worker
Claire Fultz, DSW, MSW, MSC, LCSW-C, CCM, Director of Mental Health, Jewish Community Services
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines trauma as an “emotional injury that affects performance and well-being.” A trauma-informed organization goes beyond understanding those impacts to intentionally create a workplace culture which mitigates the negative effects of trauma on its employees and on the individuals, families, and communities served. This training will provide a multifaceted framework for understanding the complexity of trauma and offer discussion on how organizational culture impacts the application of trauma-informed practice.
As a result of the training, participants will be able to:
- Identify signs and symptoms of trauma, shock, and toxic stress for individuals, communities, and organizations
- Understand the complexity of trauma and of providing trauma-informed care
- Utilize trauma-informed principles within the workplace culture of their organization
