Through a developmental understanding of trauma-informed care implementation, individuals may identify and evaluate their strengths and areas of need on an individual and systemic level, therefore identifying opportunities for future learning and advocacy.
Resources and suggestions for next steps in individual and organizational development will be shared, as well as strengths-based, culturally humble and resilience-informed considerations for learning and organizational growth.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will reflect upon and identify their learning needs for future trauma-informed care education
- Participants will identify one critique of trauma-informed care practices
