From Trauma to Healing: For Our Patients, Our Communities, and Ourselves

The California Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP) is pleased to present this recording from the 2022 Family Medicine Clinical Forum. When crafting its goal to prioritize justice through diversity, equity, and inclusion (JEDI) in the triennial strategic plan, the CAFP specified that JEDI work would be done through a trauma-informed lens. While the relationship between trauma and inequity is well-recognized, the consideration of trauma in JEDI work is groundbreaking and visionary in medicine. Family medicine’s expansive view of what is important to health naturally aligns our specialty with the principles of being trauma-informed.

In this presentation, you will learn how a trauma-informed lens can help address the root causes of our patients’ poor health and empower family physicians to provide even more engaging care that satisfies patients and our own professional aspirations. The faculty of the CAFP’s Family Medicine Initiative on Trauma-Informed Care (CAFP FIT), Drs. Erika Roshanravan, Adia Scrubb, and Brent Sugimoto, will dive deep into why a trauma-informed lens is an essential tool for addressing health disparities in our patients. They will talk about how trauma-informed care improves the health of not only our patients and our communities, but how it helps health care to be a healing place for patients, staff, and family physicians. 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, learners should be able to:

  • Recognize the pervasive and insidious impact of trauma and how it interferes with efforts to improve health and wellbeing for individuals, communities, healthcare staff, and family physicians.
  • Understand how addressing the relationship between structural inequities and trauma will facilitate the CAFP’s work in justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) and the root causes of our patients’ health disparities.
  • Find a new perspective through a trauma-informed lens that will help you identify novel opportunities for change in trauma-informed care, health care worker wellbeing and resilience, helping our health systems become healing institutions, and in patient advocacy.

Target Audience:

This activity is designed for family medicine physicians, and other primary care team members.
