The integration of trauma knowledge into practice is often a challenge in the human services field, and with the lack of integrated care options, there's even less models of this high quality care. This workshop will focus on how to provide trauma informed best practice in an integrated care setting on a non-profit budget. Creating a healing environment that is culturally sensitive will be addressed and tools provided to support more culturally relevant care. Co-Presenter Kyle Ferlic

Los Angeles Christian Health Centers has been serving the Skid Row community in Downtown Los Angeles since 1995. In this session, we will review best practices in healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. We will discuss how to provide care that is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented, and we will explore how we can best be the hands and feet of Jesus to our most vulnerable neighbors.

Modern medicine leads to social iatrogenesis, including prodigal spending on “health,” “medicalizing” normal life from conception to death and morphing clinicians into determiners of ability to work, drive, etc., creating an angst laden “risk management” obsession, and the introduction of “medical morality.” Medicine creates cultural iatrogenesis including the maintenance and amplification of what is a foreign and invasive perspective of suffering and death. Let us reflect on these ideas as we strive to be a faithful manifestation of the health and shalom.
