| Description: |
Objectives As momentum for trauma-informed care (TIC) in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services increases, guidance for staff training in TIC is needed. Methods Through a synthesis of clinical knowledge, applied experience, and research-based evidence, integral considerations and training components to advance TIC within IDD services are identified and discussed. Results Careful planning regarding organizational context, staff development, and measurement is necessary to ensure the success of TIC staff training. Training components include the stress continuum, defining trauma, the prevalence and indicators of trauma, the principles of TIC, relational work and compassion-focused leadership, the impact of caregiving, and self-care and staff care. Conclusions TIC staff training requires an investment and a shift in approach, from behavioral to relational approaches. Despite a lag, the future is promising for enhancing the overall wellbeing of people with IDD and those that support them. |
