Beyond Trauma-Aware:

Trauma-Informed Care, Community ACEs, and Post-Traumatic Growth

This webinar expands Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) beyond “trauma-aware” practice by considering: (1) how trauma and chronic stress shape mind-body functioning and clinical presentation; (2) the “Pair of ACEs” lens, including Adverse Community Experiences that disproportionately affect African-American communities; (3) the critical role of protective factors including PCEs (positive childhood experiences) and community strengths that can be hidden by implicit bias; and (4) practical TIC-informed clinical actions that reduce retraumatization and support regulation, connection, and hope. The course concludes by introducing the possibilities for some clients to achieve post-traumatic growth as part of their recovery journeys.
