Overview of Trauma Informed Care and Historical Trauma Informed Care

These webinar slides from the Indian Health Service provide an overview of historical trauma and trauma-informed care in health and behavioral health systems. Historical trauma is prevalent among AI/AN individuals, and it can be transferred across generations. The webinar provides case examples of historical trauma, and discusses the secondary trauma or compassion fatigue that providers can experience when working with clients who have experienced trauma. The presenters also included examples of trauma-informed interventions specifically targeted to AI/AN populations.
