Description

What is trauma-informed care? And how can oral health teams implement it to create supportive and empathic environments for patients and themselves? 

Join CareQuest Institute for a webinar that will explore the core principles of a trauma-informed approach to care that can improve patient trust and outcomes. Our experts will share examples of how trauma manifests in patients and staff, strategies to reduce anxiety, and guidance on creating a workplace culture that reduces burnout and increases collaboration. They’ll also discuss the importance of developing protocols to ensure physical and emotional safety for patients and staff. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Define the principles of trauma-informed care (TIC). 
  • Identify how trauma can manifest in both patients and dental team members. 
  • Demonstrate practical strategies to create psychologically safe environments that can reduce patient anxiety and improve workplace culture. 
  • Evaluate the benefits of implementing TIC principles in dental practices, including improved patient outcomes and staff wellness.
