Overview
In this session, participants will revisit the skills necessary to incorporate trauma-informed principles into clinical encounters, and to understand how good trauma-informed care forms an equally important part of good self-care. It is crucial that clinicians learn how to approach this topic within their scope of practice, understanding their limitations, and how to cope with the complexity of their clients without feeling overwhelmed.
