Trauma informed care for older adults should be at the center of holistic treatment and care as trauma is often associated with adverse physical, cognitive, emotional and social impacts.

 

However, as treatment providers and supportive services we can help ease suffering by being well informed about trauma and incorporating trauma-focused care into our patient care principles.

 

This presentation aims to improve our interactions with clients by  staying aware of the effects of trauma and providing tools  to work with individuals with trauma.
