Forty – Six Million Children will be exposed to violence this year. Two hundred and twenty-three million persons in the United States have experienced a traumatic event prior to the age of 18. Experiencing a traumatic event prior to age 18 increases a person’s chances of adopting at risk health behaviors (physical and behavioral) leading to cognitive, social and physical impairments, disease and early death. The CDC reports that trauma (Adverse Childhood Experiences) is therefore the most basic public health issue in the United States affecting about 2 out of 3 persons in general population and 90% of persons receiving services in the public health sector. Children and adults with chronic forms of trauma often have trauma echoes which interfere with healthy relationships, self-care, and day to day living. Many of them select substance use, abuse and dependence to meet their self-regulation needs. Others in engage in other “at risk” health behaviors which can harm them or others in the community. A key issue in trauma sensitive practice is supporting these individuals in separating past experiences from present experiences so that their intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning can be enhanced.
Attending to trauma-sensitive practices as a human service professional requires us to engage the youth and families we serve using a phase oriented array of care actions in any of the following activities:screening, connection to trauma sensitive services and providers, case management, and overall monitoring of youth who have experienced trauma. This session will provide an overview of the impact of trauma on children, caregivers and adults; explore how to determine your organizational trauma sensitive screening/assessment process according to best practice; discuss how these tools can be incorporated into current required activities for human service professionals; and provide an overview of what trauma sensitive therapeutic services designed to address self-regulation and coping skills, trauma resolution, and reintegration should like according to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Guidelines.
Throughout the presentation Dr. Sampson-Jackson will discuss her journey and experiences with complex trauma as a child and caregiver. She will discuss ways in which different systems and people within systems that hurt her recovery as well as helped her recovery.
Implications for enhancing human service systems through the utilization of trauma sensitive practices and creating a trauma sensitive culture within the system will be discussed. The presentation also will include work Dr. Jackson engaged in with the Iowa Department of Health in defining the organizational phased in becoming a trauma responsive organization. The event will conclude with a discussion of possible action steps agencies may undertake to address this issue.
This presentation is 3 hours in duration for 3 credits.
