Trauma-informed training and Consultation
The Clinical Need:
Trauma-informed care is a critical component of medical and physical rehabilitation. For providers who work directly with the body- such as physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, dentists, medical doctors, and personal trainers- understanding how an individual’s trauma history can manifest during physical care is essential for clinical excellence.
Developing a foundational understanding of the impact that trauma has on an individual allows the practitioner to provide care in ways that increase patient safety, improve retention, and optimize clinical outcomes.
Specialized Knowledge & Strategies:
Dr. Bartlett provides targeted training designed to equip your team with a foundational, evidence-based understanding of how trauma impacts the brain, body, and behavior. This training moves beyond theory, providing your staff with the specialized knowledge and strategies necessary to provide patient-focused care to trauma-exposed individuals.
Flexible Training Delivery:
To accommodate the demands of a busy clinical schedule, training is available in-person at your facility or live online in 90-minute intensives or 3-hr workshops. Trainings can be customized in content and length for your team’s specific needs.
Key areas of focus:
The neurobiology of trauma: Understanding the impact of trauma on the nervous system and brain, and how these impacts can affect patient memory, communication, engagement, and pain/discomfort perception during treatment.
Cognitive belief systems: How a patient’s internal narrative around themes such as safety and trust can impact engagement with care.
Clinical presentation: Identifying the “silent” ways trauma can manifest within a professional practice.
Patient-forward care strategies: Practical, evidence-based strategies designed to improve patient safety, satisfaction, and retention.
