Trauma and Resilience:

Caring for our Communities and Ourselves

PART 3

What is the impact of community trauma on patients and professionals in clinical care services?

How might an understanding of trauma inform patient care and how we care for ourselves?

Join us for a continuation of this speaker series for our community health center providers and staff. You may attend this event without having been to previous sessions.

CHCN/AHC health centers are consistently faced with high numbers of patients with trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders.
