Inaugural Trauma Symposium | Systems & Communities: Bridging the Divide

Overview: The inaugural Trauma Symposium, hosted by the Henry Ford Health Trauma Recovery Center, brings together practitioners working with trauma survivors for a day of learning and networking. 55-90% of adults in the US have experienced at least one traumatic experience in their life. Working with trauma survivors requires a unique approach from practitioners to ensure the best care and outcomes possible. One such approach is meeting the survivor where they are. This symposium will highlight innovative ways of caring for trauma survivors by breaking down siloes of care and bridging the divide between systems and communities.

Target Audience: Administration, Behavioral Health, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Medical Psychology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Primary Care, Psychiatry, Social Work, Surgery

Objectives:

  1. Understand the potential impact of trauma on an individual
  2. Identify potential signs and symptoms of trauma in themselves and others and identify pathways for recovery

  4. Identify innovative programs aimed at bringing care to survivors in the Metro Detroit area
