Trauma Informed Care (TIC) Certification Course

Complete Course Description:

This thought-provoking video series will delve into trauma-informed care, including why it's valuable, its treatment options, and so much more.

You likely know someone who has been through a traumatic or stressful incident at some point in their lives.

This course will help you understand what you, your team, and your organization can do to provide trauma-informed care in the workplace.

People who have been traumatized can benefit from professional counseling or clinical treatments, otherwise known as Trauma-Specific Practices. However, you don't need to be a trauma specialist to provide trauma-informed care.

By empowering survivors to exercise control over their lives and decisions, they can find the power to overcome their trauma.

No matter what organization you work for, trauma-informed care aims to provide appropriate services for people who have experienced traumatic events.

Trauma-informed care is all about connecting with others and providing genuine, sincere, and compassionate services for trauma survivors.

Trauma-informed care is awareness of the prevalence of trauma and its effects on individuals. Understanding trauma gives people the knowledge they need to help trauma victims in the workplace and in everyday life.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, or the SAMHSA, has developed the Four Rs of Trauma-informed care. Let's go through these now.

The First is "Realize," which is realizing the widespread impact of trauma, how it affects individuals and groups, and potential paths for recovery.

The second is "Recognize," which is recognizing the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and other affected parties.

The third R is "Respond," which is responding to trauma by integrating knowledge about trauma policies, procedures, and practices.

And lastly, there is "Resist," which is resisting retraumatization of affected parties.

I hope you are excited to get started with this course.
