This instructor led course is 4 and a half hours and is intended for staff who interact with patients. Trauma Informed Care (TIC) aims to provide the clinicians with a framework to reinforce a person-centred approach and compliment current approaches such as Safewards, recovery and strengths orientated practices and sensory modulation.
A TIC service acknowledges the prevalence of trauma, recognises how trauma affects all individuals (consumers and staff) and responds by implementing trauma informed practices. It is underpinned by a comprehensive understanding of the neurological, biological, psychological and social effects of trauma on all those who engage with the service.
Audience: Metro North Health
