Exploring The Transformative Power of Trauma-Informed Care in the Health & Fitness Industry

1 CEC

Presented by Jessica Mather

More than ever, our clients need trauma-informed care. Even if we don’t treat trauma, virtually all experienced health and fitness providers have encountered a client living with a history of trauma which can impact the way they think, move, heal, and progress in our care. Being trauma-informed means we recognize the prevalence of trauma, acknowledge the signs and symptoms of trauma, respond and support in an informed manner, and aim to avoid re-traumatization. These critical skills can transform the way we serve our clientele and improve their outcomes in our care.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define trauma and the way it can manifest to build a greater understanding of how our client's history can impact them so we can make better informed decisions in our work
2. Explore what being trauma-informed might look in the health and fitness industry by learning how to incorporate a principle-driven framework that still allows professionals to stay within their scope
3. Cover two vital skills in trauma-informed care that any provider can learn and integrate to create a safe and supportive environment for a client with trauma
