Join us in Texas for the Inaugural Texas Association of Community Health Center's Trauma Informed Care Summit!
Based on the populations served in health centers, there is a need for transformation of health centers to improve health outcomes and mitigate malAdaptive coping behaviors that have been linked as responses to adverse experiences. The landmark research of Adverse Childhood Experiences Study or ‘ACEs Study’ in the 1990s ignited the movement towards what is known as trauma informed care (TIC).
After 25 years of studies and evidence-based practices, the TACHC TIC Summit serves as an urgent ‘call-to-action’ for partners and stakeholders from across the country to utilize TIC as an innovative practice transformation, while advancing pressing health initiatives, such as value-based care, workforce wellbeing & development, and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment.
Participants will gain confidence in pursuing and furthering TIC for health, hope, and healing of the patients, staff, and the communities they serve.
By the end of the TIC Summit, participants will be able to:
- Discover and expand knowledge base of TIC, as an evidence-based framework.
- Engage with peers in cross-sector collaborations.
- Describe the impact of the TACHC curriculum through health center stories and data.
