UMaine RIBHPC hosts free, live webinar on trauma-informed primary care Oct. 21
The University of Maine Rural Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care (RIBHPC) training program is hosting a free, live webinar “Fostering Resilience & Recovery: Advancing Trauma-Informed Primary Care” on Friday, Oct. 21, 9–10:30 a.m.
Addressing trauma is now the expectation, not the exception, in primary care. Trauma-informed primary care settings can help establish more appropriate and effective care utilization patterns among individuals with trauma histories.
The benefits of creating trauma-informed environments include creating safer spaces for staff, improving clinical decision-making by equipping providers to identify and respond to trauma and building collaborative care networks to increase providers’ capacity to address holistic needs.
The webinar will explore the principles of being trauma-informed and change concepts needed to implement in primary care settings. Participants will learn to identify resilience-oriented, trauma-informed ways to intervene with all patients served and understand the key strategies for implementing this approach.
Amelia Roeschlein, consultant at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, will lead the workshop. A certificate of attendance will be provided.
