Working with older adults who have experienced trauma is different from working with someone who has not experienced psychological trauma. Whether recent trauma or childhood trauma, the impact of the event(s) is significant and should be noted when working with the community.

This training provides a foundational overview and awareness of trauma, resilience and trauma-informed care for anyone in the community who interacts with older adults who may have experienced psychological trauma including case managers, human services professionals, government agencies and more.

Participants will be able to:

• Define each of the 3 Es of Trauma;
• Define Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and explain how they impact long-term health outcomes, particularly in diseases associated with aging;
• Explain the “shift in thinking”;
• Implement the four components of trauma recovery.
