Trauma-Informed Care 101: Basics of Trauma and the TIC Framework

Current events like the COVID-19 pandemic, public images of police brutality, and an economic downturn have led to an increase in long-lasting physical and emotional stress in people across the world. These traumatic experiences have led to or exacerbated mental illnesses, substance use, and physical health conditions.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) has become a widely recognized paradigm for creating safe spaces for individuals who have experienced trauma and reducing the likelihood that accessing services would cause re-traumatization. But what exactly is trauma and the trauma-informed care framework?

Join us Friday, September 11, 2020 at 2 PM ET to hear Relias employees Nellie Galindo, MSW, MSPH, and Melissa Lewis-Stoner, MSW, LCSW-C, share the basic components of trauma and the trauma-informed care framework. During the webinar, you’ll learn:

  • The basic components of trauma and the key elements of the trauma-informed care framework
  • How COVID-19 has impacted trauma in both people served and your staff
  • How to recognize trauma in your staff and prevent burnout/vicarious trauma
  • How to view your organization through a trauma-informed lens (and examples of what a trauma-informed organization looks like)
  • What to consider before embarking on a TIC journey at your organization

Please note: This webinar is a free event, and no CEUs or certificates of participation are provided. All registrants will receive a copy of the recorded webinar and slides if you cannot attend the live event.
