Putting Trauma-Informed Care into Practice in the Perinatal Setting – Foundations for Trauma – Informed Care

In this 3-hour workshop series, participants will expand their awareness of trauma-informed care and compassionate communication and the impact it has on caring for families in the perinatal setting. We will examine the evidence behind and foundations of the trauma-informed lens to identify the purpose for compassionate communication and equitable care, the barriers to it, and the strategies and skills needed to improve upon it. We will use real-world, challenging scenarios to examine habits and build new pathways to interacting with clients and patients to effectively express compassion and improve the quality of care. The population of focus will be families affected by trauma, health inequity, perinatal substance exposure, and birth trauma. There is no fee for this activity, but to receive credit(s) you must register online and complete the online evaluation (you must register to access this form).
