Addressing the Stigma: Trauma Informed Care (3)

Announcing the third  episode in our Addressing the Stigma in Nursing podcast series—a space for real conversations about the challenges shaping our profession.

In Addressing the Stigma: Trauma Informed Care; we take a closer look at what trauma-informed care (TIC) truly means. Join us as we reflect, reset, and rebuild together. Too often, TIC is misunderstood as simply knowing a patient’s history. In this episode, we explore how TIC goes beyond awareness to preventing secondary harm, building trust, and creating safe environments for both patients and nurses.
