The Importance of Diversity-Informed Practices in Trauma-Informed Care – PART 2

February 20, 2024

2 – 3 p.m. EST

ACCME CREDITS WILL BE OFFERED.

Diversity-informed practice and trauma-informed care are so intertwined that nursing facilities cannot effectively have one without the other. In this session, we consider the importance of cultural responsiveness–individually and systemically–to those who have experienced trauma.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the significance of bringing diversity-informed practices into trauma-informed care for nursing facilities.
  2. Consider structural and systemic inequities as retraumatizing experiences.
  3. Discuss how different cultural groups may perceive and respond to trauma.

Speaker: LaVerne H. Collins, PhD, LPC, LCMHC, NCC
