Practicing Trauma-Informed Care In The Emergency Department

Jodi Steinberg – AdventHeatlh Behavioral Health

My practicum at Shawnee Mission Hospital provided the opportunity for me to experience the in-patient unit, the Intensive outpatient unit as well as the Emergency Department (ED). My Capstone project focuses on the use of Trauma Informed Care (TIC) with patients in the ED. I chose to use green and depict a green ribbon on my poster because it is the international symbol for mental health awareness. My poster attempts to explain trauma, trauma-informed and how Advent Health Shawnee Mission utilizes TIC in the Emergency Department.
