Event

The New York State Family Planning Training Center hosted four in-person trainings on providing trauma-informed care. Trainings were facilitated by Dr. Sheela Raja, an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Medicine and a clinical psychologist with a background in PTSD. 

The objectives for participants were to be able to: 

• Understand how trauma is processed behaviorally, emotionally, and physiologically
• Discuss how traumatic events are related to negative ways of coping and disease outcomes
• Communicate effectively with trauma survivors through universal trauma precautions
• Apply at least one suggestion for providing trauma-informed care for family planning services
• Utilize appropriate screening
