What is Trauma Informed Care?

Changing the narrative from “what’s wrong” to “what happened to you” and using that to better support patients as a nurse.

In this episode we talk with Colleen Hinkkala, a RN and nursing instructor at BCIT, to learn how to recognize trauma to avoid retraumatizing the patient, as a nurse and how to better acknowledge what happened to the patient, and how it affects how they behave today and their decisions.
