This training is provided by one of our own Snohomish County MRC volunteers, Steffannie Roache!
It is important to understand the foundations of trauma-informed care, especially when dealing with post-traumatic events. This introductory course equips participants with insights into trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact of trauma on both service recipients and healthcare providers and volunteers. Participants will learn to identify and mitigate inadvertent retraumatization of complex trauma survivors and distinguish between trauma-specific services and trauma-informed care. The session will also feature real-life case scenarios to practice reframing behaviors from a trauma-informed lens, ensuring culturally sensitive, optimal care, and to decrease the potential for retraumatization for survivors.
