Trauma Informed Care Speaker

Hi Laneita:

I'm sure you will get some great replies. I first thought of @Claudia Gold but there are many possibilities. 

Can you share where/when the medical conference is as that might help people when generating possible contacts.

Also, this is a great question for the ACEs in Pediatrics and Becoming Trauma Informed & Beyond Communities. And do check out the Resource Center as well.

Thank you very much for the feedback, and suggestions. 

Hi Laenita

I love speaking with medical students! Please feel free to contact me with further information. Thanks Cissy for the endorsement.

Hi! You can also contact me as well. Storiezguide@gmail.com

Hi Laneita:   I would love to speak to you regarding your request. I am currently training staff across the country on trauma informed practices and welcome any opportunities to speak to Medical students as doing so helps me to complete my professional ‘bucket list’. I can be reached through my Email at brian.sims@nasmhpd.org

Another resource to consider is Sidran.org. They are a trauma education center that provide speakers and trainers.

I'm a (retired) family doc. I teach medical residents regularly on trauma and how to integrate trauma informed care and ACES into what they do. I've presented at STFM. Why it matters and how their interactions can shift with the knowledge. I live in Seattle.  I also have a video - but it is a bit more aimed for educators than docs.

Let me know if I can be helpful.

Hey There,

Sounds like you have a lot of options.  I've heard R.J. Gillespie (https://www.linkedin.com/in/r-j-gillespie-8491b738) speak several times.  He's engaging and inspirational.  He's a Pediatrician from Portland, OR who implemented screening and a trauma informed approach into his practice. 

Thank You.  This is good to know.  It appears as though I have options from several disciplines, and my hope is that TIC, will continue to grow within my organization, with a need for all speakers in the future.  Thank you for this reference.

Laneita

Hi Laneita there are several physicians in Philadelphia that I can recommend, some who have been working on integrating TIC  in the their practice for more than a decade and regularly speak and train on the topic.  The more specific you  your desired outcome for your trainer the easier it will be to identify the best equipped speakers. If you are looking for someone more local please reach out to Lisa Eby in Buncombe County, NC who coordinates much of the trauma informed care in the County.

Hi Leslie,

Thank you so much for the feedback, and contact of Lisa Eby in Buncombe County. 

We are a level one trauma center, with specialties for every body system.  The need is to help physicians, by adding knowledge to their specific specialty, by providing the education of Trauma Informed Care (ACE's). The goal is to help them to learn how to connect the whole person/whole body, by understanding the correlation between ACE's, and adult chronic health, behavior, and trauma, that the see daily in their specialty area. 

The physician/speaker would need to have a strong understanding of the neurological changes from ACE's, and how those changes have a physiological impact, that leads to the chronic health conditions seen in adulthood.  The physician/speaker also needs to understand how ACE's change thought processes that lead to high risk behaviors, which contribute to poor health decisions, or traumatic injuries, since we are a level one trauma center.

I'm presently submitting speaker information to the department, for review.  If after reading the above, and you have a specific physician/speaker in mind, please feel free to forward the information to me.

Thanks again!
