Designing a Virtual Trauma-Informed Care Course for Healthcare Providers
We are conducting a study to inform the development of a virtual course on trauma-informed care (TIC) for healthcare providers. We are currently recruiting patients in the Trauma Therapy Program to complete a virtual, one-on-one 45-minute interview about what they would like healthcare providers to know about trauma, TIC, and gaps they’ve experienced in clinical practice around the provision of TIC. Participants will also be given the option to give your feedback on potential TIC curriculum content
“A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.” – The Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are aged 18 years or older; and
- Are participating in or completed a Resourced & Resilient (R&R) group in the Trauma Therapy Program at Women’s College Hospital; and
- Have access to an appropriate device and internet connection for a virtual interview.
If you are interested in participating or have questions, contact traumatherapyprojects@wchospital.ca or 416-323-6400 ext. 5045.
This study is being conducted by Dr. Dana Ross, who is a psychiatrist and researcher in the Trauma Therapy Program at Women’s College Hospital, in collaboration with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. This study is funded by the University of Toronto Department of Psychiatry Excellence Funds.
