Room to Heal: An Introduction to Trauma-Informed Care for Fathers
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a crucial component in mental health, addiction, justice system, child welfare environments, and many others. However, it is still a concept that needs a clear definition, differentiation between different groups based on specific needs (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, etc.), and intentional practice and implementation by practitioners or anyone who works in the above-mentioned areas. This session aims to discuss the essential concepts of TIC, making it a compelling practice to help others and will specifically describe ways TIC can be applied to working with fathers. The session will address the following learning objectives:
1. Define trauma-informed care and how the needs of those you serve may differ based on gender, race, ethnicity, and other characteristics.
2. Identify ways in which standard socialization of boys is often traumatic in itself and can create barriers to healthy fatherhood.
3. Identify specific ways in which you, as a provider, can become more trauma-informed while working with fathers.
Helping Fathers Heal: Trauma-informed care for organizations
Professionals and individuals who work with fathers are beginning to recognize the importance of adopting a trauma-informed approach to their work. This approach, also known as TIC, is part of a larger framework called values-based services (VBS). When an organization integrates VBS into its core approach, it leads to improved outcomes for the fathers they serve. However, TIC is not always fully recognized or understood by organizations, which can result in missed opportunities to improve experiences for fathers, employees and the organization as a whole.
In this session, we will discuss how to define values-based services, what trauma-informed care means from a whole-organizational approach, and how organizations commonly miss out on being trauma-informed for the fathers they serve. We will also explore specific ways in which you, as a provider, can use this information to help your organization become more trauma-informed for the fathers you work with.
