Providing Trauma Informed Care to Patients Across the Life Span Track: Community & Continuing Care Trauma has become common place in America. Every day we are all impacted by trauma including violence, abuse, neglect, disaster, war, and emotional traumas. As health care providers we need to address the concerns of individuals who have experienced trauma. One of the challenges is in identifying individuals who have had significant trauma and then be able to provide the appropriate physical and emotional support. One tool to identify individuals individuals who have experience trauma is the Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) screening tool. This tool has been proven to help identify individuals who have had multiple childhood traumas and who may need support in dealing with these issues. Research has shown that traumatic events impair neurodevelopment and immune system response and subsequent health risk behaviors. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has identified that trauma is almost always associated with experience of people with mental and substance use disorders. In addition, many individuals who have chronic health conditions have been impacted by trauma in their lives. There is an increased need for healthcare workers to be aware of these realities and to provide trauma informed care to all individuals. This presentation will define trauma and describe the statistics around trauma in the United States, discuss the ACE tool and how to utilize this in practice. The presentation will further explore the six key concepts of trauma Informed care: 1) Safety, 2) Trustworthiness and Transparency, 3) Peer support, 4) Collaboration and mutuality, empowerment, 5) Voice and choice and 6) Cultural, historical and gender issues. During the presentation time will be provided for interactive activities to support the learning process. Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss long term impact on health that trauma has on an individual’s health.

Poverty as a priority health issue: Working in the Spirit of Interprofessional Collaboration, Community Health Resource Centers
Thursday, February 23 | 7:15 - 8:15 PM
Ignite Session
Merriam-Webster (2016) defines cooperation as “the actions of someone who is being helpful by doing what is wanted or asked for.” While collaboration, as defined by Webster is “to cooperate with an agency or instrumentality with which one is not immediately connected.” Cooperation by itself is the action of helping in response to a need but, when combined with collaboration, becomes a team effort working toward shared goals (Freed, 2012). Interprofessional collaboration is a partnership formed between professionals working in a cooperative spirit while respecting the contributions of others by working on common goals, sharing skills and knowledge to improve the health of our communities. (Bridges, Davidson, Odegard, Maki, & Tomkowiak (2011).
Contemporary Community Centers are located across the United States and are an essential asset to community members (Architizer, 2022). There are varying levels of services and required funding.
