Event description:
Did you know that over 70% of Australians will experience a traumatic event at some point in their lives? For those working in clinical and hospital environments, understanding trauma and its impact is essential to providing compassionate, effective care.
Social workers play a critical role in the care of individuals and families navigating the complexities of the hospital system. In an acute clinical setting, where trauma is often at the forefront, trauma-informed approaches can ensure that the care delivered supports not only physical healing but emotional resilience.
How will learning more on this topic improve social work practice?
By deepening their understanding of trauma-informed care, social workers can foster safer, more empathetic environments for patients and staff alike. Integrating these approaches into practice can improve patient outcomes, support mental and emotional well-being, and enhance collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
This webinar will provide practical insights and strategies on delivering trauma-informed care in clinical and hospital settings. Presented by two senior social workers with extensive experience in acute critical care
Join us for a practical exploration of trauma-informed social work practice and learn how to bring compassionate care into every aspect of your clinical work.
Who should attend?
