Workshop

Description: Trauma-informed care (TIC) involves recognizing and responding to traumatic stress so that all parties involved have a shared experience that is more healing. Beyond direct care, creating trauma-informed systems (TIS) is critical to supporting each team member's capacity to meaningfully respond to adversity. TIS augment existing resilience, improve workforce experience, and ultimately improve child and family outcomes. Primary care settings are often where longitudinal relationships between care teams and community occur. Additionally, primary care can be a fast-paced, stressful place to work and receive care, making TIS principles critical to recruiting, retaining, and supporting the primary care workforce. In this workshop, participants will review frameworks for understanding TIC and TIS, including the 2021 AAP policy statement and clinical report, and consider the ways in which they can advance their clinical environment to be more trauma-informed. Participants will choose two out of four small groups to participate in: 1) screening practices around trauma, 2) training in and maintaining trauma-informed practices amongst faculty, trainee and staff, 3) community partnership, and 4) sustainability of integrated care. For each topic, participants will use a framework to compare their current status to guidelines and receive practical resources that support the advancement of both TIC and TIS. Leaders of the session include mental health professionals, funders of TIC/TIS work, systems change leaders, pediatric faculty developers of TIC training curricula, and the Senior Director of Growth and Sustainability for HealthySteps, a primary care model rooted in TIC.

Learning Objectives:

Describe frameworks for understanding and implementing Trauma-informed Care (TIC) and Trauma-Informed Systems (TIS), including the 2021 AAP Clinical Report and Policy Statement and guidelines from SAMSHA and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
Identify specific opportunities for integrating trauma-informed training and/or maintenance practices into healthcare settings, including sample curricula and activities.
Compare strategies for creating and paying for interventions to advance trauma-informed primary care, including integrating preventative behavioral health services and creating community partnerships.
