The significance of trauma has become an increasingly accepted tenet of complex care. While there is general agreement on the core principles of trauma-informed care and that trauma can negatively impact an individual’s health and wellbeing, our March 2019 webinar and April 2019 Office Hours for Complex Care focused on how to apply trauma-informed approaches in a variety of settings.

Presenters shared their experiences by incorporating principles of trauma-informed care in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Dr. Katy Davis discussed the trauma-informed primary care intervention practiced at the UCSF Women’s HIV clinic, along with reflections on client feedback and next steps for the program.
