Trauma-informed care is really about putting a vest around your brain.
Imagine trying to change long-held beliefs and practices in a school or police department. That's exactly what Sean Hess from the Kansas City Police Department and Aaron Knipmeyer from the Lafayette County C-1 School District have been doing. In this episode of 'Essential Conversations', they share their real-world experiences of implementing trauma-informed care in their unique settings. From managing crises to overcoming resistance, they discuss the challenges they've faced and the strategies they've used to promote mental well-being.
Sean brings insights from the perspective of law enforcement, emphasizing the importance of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. Aaron, on the other hand, talks about the hurdles within educational environments and how he's working to create a supportive atmosphere for students and staff alike. They also touch on the neurobiology of trauma, explaining how understanding the brain's response to trauma can lead to better care practices.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in creating more compassionate and effective systems of care.
