PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT: HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Elevating Patient Care:
TREC Certification Empowers Healthcare Professionals to Create Trust and Healing.
Last year, TREC introduced professional development offerings tailored to healthcare professionals. This trauma-resilient certification program equips healthcare professionals with the skills and understanding needed to effect change in their hospital, medical center, and healthcare community. The training moves past theory to teach practical skills and tools to provide better patient care and care for themselves in their professional capacity (and crosses over into personal life, too). Included in the competencies of a Trauma-Resilient Healthcare Professional are recognition of these professional development achievements in skills and knowledge for the following:
PACEs Science Advocate:Understand the relationship between trauma and resilience and how they affect the overall health and well-being of patients and their families.
Equity-Focused Leader: Develop understanding and practices in creating more equitable outcomes through fair, inclusive care, addressing disparities, and promoting health justice.
Relationship Builder: Learn the crucial nature of supportive relationships and restorative justice practices in creating empowering healthcare environments.
Self-Care Practitioner: Apply practical self-care strategies to recognize, prevent, and manage compassion fatigue, promoting a sustained ability to provide compassionate, high-quality patient care.
Mindfulness Facilitator: Practical understanding of the benefits of meditation and mindfulness to enhance well-being, reduce stress, and support mental health for both healthcare providers and patients alike.
