Trauma-informed care is a perspective adopted more frequently within the human services fields based on an increased awareness of the prevalence of trauma and the ways in which it impacts functioning. In this class we describe and define what trauma-informed care is and ways in which a traditional treatment approach can be modified to increase the sense of safety experienced by the people we serve. Class participants learn how to incorporate trauma-informed practices into treatment with diverse populations, such as communities in rural settings, military veterans, women, people with co-occurring disorders, and other groups. Although trauma treatment approaches will be considered, this class will not specifically teach how to do trauma-specific treatment.
