Back to the listingAdvancing Public Health through a Trauma-Informed Approach
Provider: National Board of Public Health Examiners
Description: In public health, we work with a variety of different communities and populations, many of which experience unique and often chronic forms of trauma. Without bearing this in mind, often our work may miss or not appropriately address the needs of different communities, or may unintentionally exacerbate health disparities that are rooted in these traumas. This webinar will explore the distinct public health obstacles encountered by these populations, with a particular emphasis on the importance of a trauma-informed approach to care. As healthcare providers and public health professionals, understanding the nuanced experiences of varying communities is crucial to delivering effective and empathetic care. The presentation will begin by outlining specific public health disparities and barriers, including higher rates of mental health challenges, substance use, and exposure to violence, compounded by systemic discrimination and stigmatization. We will then delve into the principles of trauma-informed care, which emphasize safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment. By integrating these principles into public health strategies, professionals can create environments that acknowledge and address the impact of past traumas, thereby improving health outcomes and fostering resilience.
