Hello. My name is
Gina Touch Mercer.
I am a licensed psychologist and
the Behavioral
Sciences Curriculum
Director at
the University of Arizona
College of Medicine in Phoenix.
I welcome you to this talk
on trauma-informed care
for healthcare professionals
and organizational leaders.
0:24
At the start of the series,
I highlighted the
six core domains
of behavioral medicine,
which include the impact
of culture, history,
society, and family on
health and health behavior.
The integration of mind and
body in illness and health.
The social
determinants of health
that impact brain-body
connections.
The methods, technologies and
skills that promote
health and healing.
The quality of the
patient-physician relationship,
and the role of the physician
and embodiment of
professionalism.
In this talk, I will address
all six domains as I discuss
the impact of trauma on
the health of individuals,
families, society, and systems,
and methods to relieve and
potentially reverse
those impacts.
You may have already heard of
the trauma-informed
care paradigm.
Or this may be
a complete paradigm
shift in your practice,
research lab, or
healthcare organization.
I hope you'll take away
new insights, skills,
and resources to enhance
the health and well-being
of those you serve.
