Presentation Description:
In today’s world, the transparency of social media has us exposed to more than ever before. This informs our culture, communication, interactions and our exposure to traumatic experiences. We are exposed through videos and photos to things that we previously read about. Our brains are dealing not only with our own but others’ traumatic experiences every day. This onslaught of exposure reminds us as professionals in mental health of the prevalence of trauma in all our lives. We are seeing increased need for Trauma Informed Care, understanding secondary exposure and its impacts on us, along with human to human connections. Through discussion of the principles in Trauma Informed Care, and by using examples from Deaf cultural experiences, we will identify strategies of how practitioners can work to incorporate cultural sensitivity into TIC, and how we can all become more open to the varied experiences of the people we work with in this field.Presentation Objectives:
- Participants will understand how common deaf cultural experiences tie into Trauma Informed Care.
- Participants will learn how they can incorporate increased cultural sensitivity into their work.
