As research in the field of trauma develops, the definition of trauma and its’ effects on the brain, development, and social interactions continues to shift and expand. Repeated exposure to traumatic healthcare events can lead to lifetime consequences for a person’s developmental, emotional, and behavioral health. Traumatic stress is commonly present in the healthcare setting when patients and families enter a situation, not knowing what to expect or how to best prepare for the experience. In moments of distress, it can be very difficult to identify what strategies will help reduce that stress while simultaneously navigating the healthcare experience. This webinar will address the concepts of traumatic stress, emotional safety and identify different strategies a patient and their support system can use to advocate for their emotional safety within the healthcare setting.
