Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an approach to health service delivery that acknowledges current scientific understanding regarding the strong association between psychological trauma and mental and physical illness. Additionally, it acknowledges how trauma impacts the life of individuals engaging with health services, including the health and wellbeing of healthcare staff.
This course will show that understanding people by asking “what happened to you?” and “how did you cope?” instead of “what is wrong with you?” will provide services that are more evidence based, effective and strengths focused. This will ultimately improve the quality of life for clients, families and carers and our for our dedicated workforce. This course takes approximately 1 hour.
