Trauma 101: Trauma Basics for Health Professionals

Description

Research shows that 67% of the population has experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience. These trauma-based adversities are predictive of a multitude of toxic physical, mental and social outcomes throughout a person’s lifetime. Health Professionals can be better equipped to meet the needs of those they serve with information that helps them appreciate the complex nature of trauma. With respect for the primary responsibilities of Health Professionals, this multi-media, interactive workshop sheds light on the potential deeper needs of the populations they serve.

Health Professionals may provide health care treatment and advice based on formal training and experience. The field includes those who work as a medical doctor, physician assistant, pharmacist, medical assistant, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, dentist, midwife, psychologist or those who perform services in allied health professions. A Health Professional may also be an expert in public health or community health.
