Trauma can profoundly shape how survivors experience healthcare, social services, education, law enforcement, and other systems of support. Effective screening and assessment require more than identifying indicators—they require approaches that recognize trauma, reduce harm, and build trust.
In this live virtual training, participants will explore practical, trauma-informed approaches to screening and assessment that prioritize safety, dignity, consent, and survivor choice. Through interactive discussion, case scenarios, and skills-based activities, the course examines how professionals can recognize trauma responses, communicate more effectively, and support survivors without causing additional harm.
Participants will also explore strategies for documenting encounters, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, and sustaining trauma-informed practice across healthcare, social services, public health, education, law enforcement, and related fields.
