Trauma-Informed Care For All SLPs

No matter what setting a Speech-language pathologist (SLP) works in, they will work with a patient who has experienced trauma. Although there is no prescriptive therapy technique, there is trauma-informed care. This is where we ask ourselves how can we reduce causing retraumatization, even if it was unintentional. In this session, we will discuss the start of trauma-informed research, where we are today, and what still needs to be done. We will also discuss how SLPs specifically can benefit from using trauma-informed care in their work setting.
