Restore for Healthcare™Â
Restore for Healthcare™
Healthcare leaders are well aware that if their organization does not provide a patient-centered trauma-informed environment, then patients may be more likely to experience confusion navigating the health system, distrust of medical personnel, and possibly be re-traumatized during their medical visits. This can lead to poor health outcomes, demoralized staff, and ultimately higher healthcare costs. That’s why our training program, Restore for Healthcare™, provides a comprehensive approach to supporting healthcare providers that:
- Enhances patient care through increasing transparency, cultural sensitivity, and patient choice.
- Provides tools for medical personnel and health systems to combat stress and boost employee morale.
- Works with medical training programs to integrate trauma knowledge and trauma-informed practices into their educational curricula.Â
