Role of Trauma-Informed Care in Disasters

This article addresses the issue of a trauma informed approach from a multidisciplinary perspective and global and systemic taking charge. The work is defined in the current pandemic background, with particular reference to the most fragile persons, in every phase of existence, especially when the fragility is due to deficit and disability. The guiding principles of trauma-informed organisations consist in creating a safe and reliable environment, allowing peer support and self-help, implementing personal empowerment, voice and choice. The TI approach aims to reduce exposure to adversity by implementing collective capacities for support, assistance, education and guidance. Trauma informed approach is a border territory to Special Pedagogy: the second part of the work outlines the role of Special Pedagogy in trauma and the issues highlighted by the COVID 19 pandemic, with the possible collective traumatic effect it can cause. The importance of recognizing, evaluating and dealing with stress due to trauma is highlighted in promoting collaboration with families and social networking, shaping policies and cultures to manage emergencies in relation to everyone's needs, especially the most exposed people such as people with disabilities.

Community Trauma

Many people seeking psychiatric care have been exposed to interpersonal and/or community trauma; those experiences have direct bearing on their presenting concerns. Understanding that trauma can pervasively impact well-being, it is critical for psychiatric practitioners to routinely address trauma exposure, coping strategies, and related symptoms so that interventions are experienced as collaborative, safe, and effective. This chapter discusses practical approaches addressing the role of trauma in health and behavioral health symptoms, and it introduces evidence-based interventions for assessing and treating trauma-related disorders in public practice. Trauma-informed systems of care that limit undue harm while attending to the needs of practitioners are also discussed.

Student Trauma

Using narrative inquiry, this study aims to examine the role of therapeutic behavioral strategists (TBS) in addressing the impact of trauma to students who are in the primary and secondary levels of public education. This dissertation studies and amplifies the experiences of the participating therapeutic behavioral strategists (TBS) in the Rialto Unified School District. Six (6) therapeutic behavioral strategists are interviewed and the narrative data analyzed through the constructed lenses of critical consciousness, recognition and redistribution, and transformative learning theory. The paradigm shift from the traditional approach to trauma-informed care highlights the framework of best professional practices in appropriately responding to students experiencing trauma.

Patient Retention

OBJECTIVE To raise awareness and understanding about the role of trauma in the development of substance use and to define and clarify the need for trauma-informed care within the treatment of patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). METHOD This article reviews the up-to-date literature on how and why traumatic life experiences promote a neurobiological vulnerability to development of SUDs and combines this with a discussion of the principles of trauma-informed care for SUDs, as well as a review of the role of stigma and structural violence as foundational concepts in the implementation of trauma-informed care for people with SUDs. RESULTS Shifting to a trauma-informed care paradigm in treating SUDs more effectively serves patients by improving patient experiences and accounting for a chronic disease model, wherein multiple episodes of SUD care are often necessary. CONCLUSIONS This article reviews the ways in which nurses and other service providers can increase SUD patient retention and decrease recurrence by understanding the role of trauma in the development of SUDs, exploring the role of stigma, and identifying and interrupting structural violence as it relates to SUDs. This article also offers actionable steps that all nurses can take now as well as areas for further inquiry into trauma-informed care substance use services.
