On May 11, 2023, the Federal Covid-19 Public Health Emergency officially ended, however, some researchers argue that the full psychological effects of the pandemic have yet to be realized. The collective trauma associated with Covid, further compounded by ongoing global conflict, economic uncertainty, and climate change, create an environment ripe for the development of chronic disease, stress, and a variety of mental health conditions. As models for care and compassion, social workers must be equipped to recognize and effectively respond to trauma in a supportive, culturally responsive manner. This two-hour training provides clinical social workers with a comprehensive introduction to trauma-informed and culturally-responsive care. Participants will explore SAMHSA’s trauma informed care model, learn practical evidence-based interventions, and examine the biopsychosocial effects of trauma. This session will also explore strategies to enhance therapeutic engagement, promote safety and empowerment, and strengthen collaboration with interdisciplinary partners. Through interactive discussion and real-world examples, social workers will gain tools and knowledge to integrate trauma informed principles into everyday, clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

Define the core principles of trauma informed care and explain how trauma impacts individual behavior, engagement and healing.
Apply trauma-informed and culturally responsive strategies and tools to enhance safety, trust, empowerment, and culturally responsive care in clinical and community settings.
Assess the impact of acute and chronic trauma on client biopsychosocial functioning and incorporate these insights into treatment planning.
Demonstrate effective interdisciplinary collaboration by integrating trauma informed principles into coordinated care with behavioral health, medical and community partners to support continuity of care and improved clinical outcomes.
