2024 Symposium Series:

Trauma, Trauma-Informed Care and Mental Health:  Help and Hope

“It is important to understand how ubiquitous trauma is in our society, what devastating effects it has on family life, workplace productivity, the ability to learn and take initiative, the ability to stay calm and focused, and the capacity to be compassionate…”  Bessel Van Der Kolk

How much do you know about trauma and its impact on a person’s spiritual and emotional well-being?   Did you know that persons who experience trauma are more vulnerable to health and behavioral illnesses and may reduce their life span?

This four-part series is designed for faith community nurses, faith community leaders, RNs and other professionals who want to learn more about trauma, trauma-informed care and mental health.

• March 14, 2024  Part 2:  Trauma-Informed Care: Why and How                            
  • How do we recognize trauma and provide the types of care that promote healing?  Too often, our efforts can re-traumatize survivors.  Learn strategies you can use in your unique setting.
