Advancing Complex Care Philosophy: Tools for Healing-Centered Care

Building Practical Skills for Empowering Healing and Resilience

Go beyond the philosophies of complex care and build practical skills for empowering healing and resilience with individuals you serve. As we see in our work every day, the effects of trauma are widespread and vary greatly—from major depression and anxiety to obesity and diabetes, substance use disorder and altered interpersonal dynamics. The COVID-19 public health crisis has upended the lives of individuals and families, forcing them to cope with a new level of trauma caused by the virus that extends far beyond the physical illness.

This activity will equip participants with practical tools that will help strengthen their skills in facilitating conversations and activities and conducting follow-up interventions with individuals experiencing complex health and social needs. As a result of this increased knowledge, learners can feel more confident in their ability to foster authentic healing relationships that build resiliency and avoid re-traumatization.
