Episode 4: How Trauma-Informed Care Can Help Heal Our Communities
Tom Herzog, Chief Operating Officer, Netsmart
Marshaun Butler, Vice President, Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City Crittenton Children’s Center
No matter how big or small – nearly everybody has experienced trauma at some point in their life. With social determinants like equity, vocation, access to food and so many more, no two stories will look the same. This is where trauma-informed care comes into play. Focused on coping skills and how to internally manage trauma, this form of care meets each individual where they’re at.
In this episode, Tom Herzog, Chief Operating Officer, Netsmart sits down with Marshaun Butler, Vice President, Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City Crittenton Children’s Center, to talk about social determinants of health, trauma-informed care and how Crittenton Children’s Center considers both of those when providing care to their children. Tune in to hear how breaking the stigma of trauma and allowing hard conversations to be had, allows us to move forward slowly but surely as a community.
Join us as we go over:
- Trauma-informed care and how it’s provided
- What different phases of trauma may look like
- Social determinants of health
- How children are receiving care through therapeutic foster programs
- The progress that has been made by leaders and advocates in the community
