Reply to "Trauma training for healthcare leaders"

Hello Mike,

All the best to you with this Trauma 101/102 training for healthcare leaders.

I'm still astounded [ad saddened] by the amount of healthcare professionals, physicians, etc, who have no clue about the connection of trauma/stress to long term health outcomes.

AS an FYI, for myself as a trauma survivor to thriver...I've learned not to disclose my dealing with PTSD and depression with healthcare folks due to the stigma and discrimination of what they perceive as a "mental illness." The end result if you do disclose, as many of us have learned, this is the response - "Well, it must all be in your head due to your mental illness."

I have presented to healthcare professionals by myself and with a team that included a trauma informed/practicing psychologist and forensic specialist/educator. Despite being mandated trainings hosted by the health care facility or hospital, most notably absent, the doctors.

Survivor/thrivers should be part of all trainings.

FYI - The implicit bias of, “Mental Illness” and “mentally ill”, a lexicon of hurt.  By Michael Skinner - http://www.mskinnermusic.com/t...l-a-lexicon-of-hurt/

Take care, Michael
