This interactive workshop equips participants to recognize common psychological trauma responses and apply trauma-aware assessment strategies across both patient care and staffing contexts. Through guided discussion prompts, participants will explore how trauma presents in patients, EMS personnel, and communities, while clarifying the distinctions between trauma-aware, trauma-responsive, and trauma-informed approaches. The session concludes with practical application activities and a collaborative challenge, empowering participants to integrate at least one actionable skill into their professional practice.
