The Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study, conducted by Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has shown us that trauma is prevalent and can cause lifelong health consequences.

We can therefore expect that a significant percentage of patients served in integrated care settings have been exposed to ACEs. Signs and symptoms include: not showing up for appointments or frequently showing up without an appointment; difficulty adhering to treatment goals; limited or no improvement in health conditions; and multiple psychiatric diagnoses and medications.

After this webinar, participants will be able to:
Recognize the value of trauma-informed approaches to care in integrated settings
Identify three strategies that can be used immediately to minimize or prevent triggering events
Design a plan to implement trauma-informed approaches in their setting
Locate resources from CIHS that can support efforts to build trauma-informed integrated approaches to care

Please note:

Registration is free and closed captioning is available upon request.
