In the face of pandemics, disasters, or infections, heightened uncertainty and stress prevail. Our responses can trigger primal instincts – from impaired executive functions to emotional turbulence and decision-making challenges. As healthcare professionals, these impacts ripple through both us and the residents we serve.
This pivotal session delves into a trauma-informed approach to navigate such scenarios. Discover vital strategies encompassing safety, trust, collaboration, peer support, empowerment, and culture. Learn how to empower and heal residents and teams alike. Explore techniques for supervisors to address trauma, foster connections, and lead through a trauma-informed lens.
