Care Philosophy Training
Building the Foundation for a Trauma-Informed Environment and Culture
Social service and health care professionals and organizations seeking to develop trauma-informed environments and cultures will gain practical knowledge about the care principles and practices that are critical for ensuring whole-person health.
To provide the very best care and service to those we serve, we need all our heads, hearts and hands working at their full potential. In the modules that follow, learners have the opportunity to participate in a training curriculum that offers a foundation for establishing trauma-informed environments and cultures – ones that are rooted in evidence-based practices and that integrate the principle components of care for individuals with the most complex social, medical, and behavioral health needs.
For individuals who have experienced trauma, the emotional and physical effects of trauma are widespread and profound—from obesity and diabetes, to substance use disorder, to anxiety, depression. An appropriate approach to care can support whole-person wellbeing and better health care outcomes and reduce avoidable health care utilization.
It is recommended that colleagues take this session at the same time and hold 30-minute peer-led learning circles after each course. Learning circles provide an additional opportunity for participants to process the content and discuss the practical application of the tactics and strategies presented in the courses. The Additional Information section below contains facilitator guides for each of the learning circles, which serve as helpful conversation starters for learners as they progress through the training curriculum.
