Trauma-Informed Care 101: Basics of Trauma and the TIC Framework on 9/11
11am-noon on Friday, September 11
Current events like the COVID-19 pandemic, public images of police brutality, and an economic downturn have led to an increase in long-lasting physical and emotional stress in people across the world. These traumatic experiences have led to or exacerbated mental illnesses, substance use, and physical health conditions.

But what exactly is trauma and the trauma-informed care framework? During this webinar, Relias employees Nellie Galindo, MSW, MSPH, and Melissa Lewis-Stoner, MSW, LCSW-C, will share the basic components of trauma and the trauma-informed care framework. During the webinar, you’ll learn:
- The basic components of trauma and the key elements of the trauma-informed care framework
- How COVID-19 has impacted trauma in both people served and your staff
- How to recognize trauma in your staff and prevent burnout/vicarious trauma
- How to view your organization through a trauma-informed lens (and examples of what a trauma-informed organization looks like)
- What to consider before embarking on a TIC journey at your organization
