Description:
Many vulnerable patients and survivors of intimate partner violence have long histories of cumulative trauma beginning in childhood, which are associated with many adverse health and life consequences. This workshop will provide a framework for and practice in addressing life-long and cumulative trauma with patients, while also caring for oneself. Participants will also be provided with a “toolkit” that provides evidence-based and expert-opinion based tools and advice on implementing “trauma-informed primary care”.
