Trauma-informed care is the umbrella term to ALL mindsets, policies and procedures, and therapy strategies where reducing harm & not causing trauma is the primary intention. In the speech world specifically, a lot of big SLPs are now talking about trauma-informed care as part of their niche, when actually, it is the overall umbrella. Within the neurodiversity affirming therapy movement, the goal is to avoid causing trauma to the individuals served when previously, the practicing we were teaching, such as masking and punishment for stimming, are proven to cause trauma and harm to the individual we were intending to “help”. If our offices and spaces are not accessible to disabled people, we are actively excluding them and actively causing harm. When I present on trauma-informed care, I often get asked why this isn’t the umbrella of nice-ness or compassion or empathy. Although those “raindrops” are part of the equation and important aspects, niceness does not ensure we are not causing harm. Under the umbrella, you will see terms that are mindsets or approaches to working with people. Ask yourselves “how do these practices ensure we are reducing OUR role in causing harm”? I created this graphic to help all professionals help understand the role in trauma-informed care. What are your thoughts? Like, comment, and share. #traumainformed #personcentered #slp #traumainformedcare #personcentered #childcentered #humancentered #dei #neurodiversity #neurodiversitymovement

We understand every child is unique and we are committed to providing a program that caters to their specific needs. That’s why we offer both one-on-one sessions and our Neurodivergent Youth Group Program over an 8 week term. Our group sessions of 1:4 ratio of therapist to children provide opportunities for social interaction, communication, cooperation and building valuable peer relationships. Studies consistently show that physical activity plays a pivotal role in improving the lives of neurodivergent children and youth including the physical, mental and social health. Recognizing the pressing need for support, our program is open to children with a current diagnosis and for those who find themselves on lengthy waitlists for diagnoses. We are committed to providing assistance when it’s needed most. https://lnkd.in/g9ZyTp2x #FitnessJourney #StrengthTraining #O2Active #ExercisePhysiology #exercisephysiologist #movementismedicine #O2Active #MoveWithPurpose #EP #Lifestyle #WellnessJourney #ClinicalExcellence #healthandwellness #EvidenceBasedPractice #PatientCareCentered #holistichealth #Rehabilitation #ChronicDiseaseManagement #InjuryRehabilitation #ExercisePhysiology #FunctionalFitness #PhysicalTherapy #MindBodyConnection #CommunityHealth #WellnessJourney #OptimalHealth #LifelongWellBeing #ClientFocused #fitnessforall #teamculture

Therapists may say things like "name it to tame it" & "if you see it, you don't have to be it" because of the awareness that noticing, welcoming, accepting, processing difficult emotions is part of the process of ultimately lessening their effect. #seeitdontbeit #nametotame #allfeelingsarewelcome #mentalhealthmatters #ncpsychological #NCPA #ncpf

Our Therapists Collective is back in action as a Peer Support Groups for Therapists. A place specially curated to share vulnerabilities as humans who are in a helping profession. Shared angst, incapacities, failures and above all the trauma we share listening to people’s lives that we can’t share anywhere. No one talks about this. No one talks abt feelings therapists go through. No one talks about what being in a therapy room listening to people’s lives does to a therapist. I’m excited and scared. I don’t wanna screw this up. I wanna curate experiences that enable support and empathetic sharing. I wish kindness, compassion and authenticity in our collective for all of us.❤️
