The advent and subsequent aftermath of COVID-19 has further exacerbated population-wide challenges with substance and opioid use disorders. The impact of the pandemic is evidenced in tragic social outcomes that include record-high overdose rates coupled with disparate access to life-saving care and treatment. Access to care is further complicated by the enduring stigma and bias associated with substance use disorders, as well as stigmas and misconceptions associated with evidence-based treatment options, such as Medication Assisted Treatment.
Trauma-informed care has proved to be an impactful and relevant approach that improves patient engagement as well as patient outcomes. This training will orient attendees on trauma-informed principles of practice and how they relate to the delivery of care, to the reformation of care settings, and how this approach further enhances essential rapport and trust-building between patients and providers.
Objectives:
Provide an overview of trauma-informed care
Relate this orientation to practice to the delivery and setting of care
Highlight how trauma-inform care can enhance the delivery of evidence-based care and treatment options to include Medication Assisted Treatment
Identify areas of opportunity for provider and practice transformation
