Let us discuss Trauma-informed Caregiving. It is a broad concept acknowledging that healthcare and care teams need a complete picture of a patient's life situation to provide adequate healthcare services towards healing. According to the Trauma-Informed Care Implementation Resource Centre, Trauma-Informed Care helps shift the approach to providing care from “What is wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”. This helps give a more holistic view of the issue at hand and how to address it effectively. It also shows that our life experiences directly impact our overall health. In its approach, it emphasises that Trauma-informed care seeks to: a. Realise the widespread impact of trauma and understand paths for recovery, b. Recognise the signs and symptoms of trauma in patients, families, and staff, c. Integrate knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and d. Actively avoid re-traumatisation. Overall, being trauma-informed is crucial in our work, especially when interacting with clients who have experienced trauma. If we are better informed, we will be better equipped to provide the right kind of care. #BeTraumaInformed #TraumaAwareness #TraumaInformedCare  #ItStartsWithYou

During concussion recovery, a positive support network plays a pivotal role in the journey towards healing and well-being... Having a circle of supportive family members, friends, healthcare professionals, and peers can provide invaluable emotional, physical, and practical support during challenging times. Their encouragement, understanding, and empathy can help alleviate feelings of isolation and frustration often experienced during recovery. Not to mention, a positive support network can offer practical assistance with daily tasks, transportation to medical appointments, and a safe space to express fears and concerns... Their unwavering belief in your ability to overcome obstacles and their presence as compassionate listeners can instill hope, resilience, and motivation to persevere through the ups and downs of concussion recovery. Ultimately, the love, care, and encouragement of a positive support network can make all the difference in navigating the journey towards full recovery and reclaiming a fulfilling life.

Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys. Living Well with a Serious Illness helps patients and their caregivers understand • what palliative care entails • how to access the support they need when going through a serious illness • what questions to ask medical professionals • how to navigate advanced care planning • definitions of common terminology used with end-of-life planning • the importance of spiritual care, coping strategies, and emotional support • how to become an advocate for palliative care This book illuminates the importance of seeing patients as individuals who can benefit from care for their body, mind, and spirit―the core tenet of palliative care. https://buff.ly/3Tw5nJD #PalliativeCare #PalliativeCareServices
