Abstract
We have heard the phrase “first do not harm” written by Hippocrates in his work, Of the Epidemics. By pursuing certification in Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), our organization moves closer to the ideal goal of providing care that is safe, helpful, and comforting. The journey toward TIC certification offers far-reaching benefits beyond improved patient well-being. TIC organizations offer enhanced patient care by ensuring services are safe and avoid re-traumatization, TIC organizations have deeper operational insight as the process naturally reveals the hidden gaps in existing services, leading to process improvements, and these organizations benefit from additional staff retention since overall workplace environments are improved.
This presentation will dive into the TIC core principles, why they are important and offer tangible opportunities for improvement which were discovered as we became more fluent in the TIC process. We did not fully understand the far-reaching benefits of becoming a Trauma Informed Organization when we began our certification process, this presentation provides first-hand information on our organizations experiences and offers real-world insights.
