Hi,

Great question.  We are actually doing an in-person training on TIC in primary care Sept 28.  I have attached our flyer.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'd be grateful if anyone could forward me any material they have regarding TIC in Primary Care, please -- thisis one area in particular where New Zealand is tragically behind the times, but might benefit from some fresh ideas.

good morning, attached you will find the trauma informed care toolkit we developed for inpatients and outpatients for families with children. we find it a bit cumbersome for primary care setting not supported by social work or behavioral health clinicians. but this may be a start for you to consider.  secondly Montefiore hospital pediatrics department implemented TIC in their primary care heavily supported by their behavioral health clinicians team. you may reach dana Crawford, michellina german, or rachil briggs. this team is coming to the university of iowa hospitals to give us 8 grand rounds in various departments. we will have more information after November based on what we learn from each other. best.

I will send another message with the toolkit for adults without children for those of you serving adult patients.
