Event Description:
Over a full lifetime many individuals may experience traumatic events. Trauma-informed care is a critical approach to engaging with individuals that recognizes and responds to the impact and risk of trauma. Having a workforce that is trained on trauma-informed care can help diminish the potential for triggers and improve both quality of care and quality of life. Program leaders from Texas Health and Human Services will describe a three-part training series on person-centered, trauma-informed care for Texas’ aging service providers. While this training, informed by the needs and experiences of Holocaust survivors, was developed for service providers, the care techniques and methods are best practices that improve the quality of care of all older adults. At all levels of engagement, understanding trauma-inducing situations and triggers can help create respectful methods of service delivery.
