From Awareness to Action: The Ethics of Trauma-Informed Care

From Awareness to Action: The Ethics of Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma is ubiquitous, with far-reaching negative impacts on individuals and communities. Mental health providers need to be competent in bringing a trauma-informed ethical decision-making framework into their clinical practice, agencies, and systems, in order to actively counter the effects of trauma while promoting healing, resilience, and recovery. This foundational training offers clinicians a comprehensive introduction to the core tenets of trauma-informed care (TIC), while integrating the ethical principles guiding our profession, and highlighting cultural awareness and cultural humility as essential cornerstones of our work. Professional challenges like burnout, vicarious trauma, and boundaries will be examined through an ethical, trauma-informed lens, and practical strategies for how to mitigate such challenges will be addressed. In addition to didactic and reflective elements, the TIC principles and ethical codes of conduct will be brought to life through thought-provoking case scenarios - so participants can move from awareness to application to action.
