“When we started, trauma-informed care was about mindfulness, and since then, we see it seeping into all aspects of how we interact with each other and patient care.
It’s a process.”

– Eisner Clinical Director

Best agency practices and lessons learned for all organizations from Eisner Health’s TIC rollout

Trauma-informed care (TIC) offers a way for organizations to start building a resilient organizational culture by understanding the impact of toxic stress and resilience on both patients and staff, then leverage that understanding to improve organizational culture and practices. Within community health, TIC provides a critical foundation for integrating screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

In this 60-minute webinar, learn how Eisner Health reduced escalations, supported staff wellness, and improved the patient experience across three clinics in Los Angeles by integrating TIC. Staff members from administration, behavioral health, medical, and dental departments will share their perspectives and lessons they learned during the journey that organizations in any sector can apply to guide their teams to success. Team members share examples of steps they took to build a resilient organizational culture.

Start here to develop a shared language

The Basics is a two-hour workshop helps introduce to you and your staff establish a common language around trauma-informed principles and practices so everyone can develop a culture centered on resilience-building together.

Begin by exploring the impacts of toxic stress on both clients and staff, while deepening your team’s understanding of ACEs, as well as the role of systemic and intergenerational adversity. Finally, learn more about the concept of resilience, identify how protective factors can help heal the impacts of trauma, and discuss how resilience can be built and sustained within an organization.
