Making Sense of Trauma-Informed Care for Clinical Psychologists
- Clinical
About
We are excited to invite you to join us alongside guest speaker, Dr Angela Kennedy (Consultant Clinical Psychologist) to think about trauma-informed care and to hear about the latest thinking in relation to trauma-informed care models.
The event will be a great opportunity to discuss with colleagues examples and ideas for best practice within our region. Trauma-informed care has become a high frequency phrase in mental healthcare over recent years, but like so many buzz words this holds a risk of drifting away from the real meaning intended; this event seeks to celebrate and develop the unique role that clinical psychology can and should play in design and delivery of trauma-informed care in the East Midlands.
Dr Kennedy writes: "As psychologists our world view influences the kind of trauma lens that we use. I invite you to explore how to create systemic change and survive the process"
