Purpose
In recognizing how trauma-informed care (TIC) impacts residents, the workforce, and the organization as a whole, leaders will be better suited to identify beginning steps toward addressing trauma-informed care implementation. Learners will be equipped with the knowledge to integrate a collective approach to trauma-informed care, embrace wellness and resiliency producing organization-wide benefits, and be empowered through actionable methods to bring TIC to life within their organizations.
