Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." In today's episode, we'll explore the critical concept of trauma-informed care—a term that's become widespread yet is often misunderstood. Originating from clinical and research settings and gaining broader cultural awareness, trauma-informed care prioritizes understanding the comprehensive life experiences of individuals to improve their engagement and outcomes in care settings.

Michael shares personal stories that underscore the importance of this approach, illustrating the profound impact it can have on patient experiences and outcomes. We'll delve into practical ways organizations can create sensitive environments for those with neurodiversity and sensory sensitivities, the significance of establishing clear protocols for consent and empowerment, and the necessity of training staff in trauma-informed practices.

Join us as we discuss how integrating trauma-informed care can lead to better engagement, retention, and overall health outcomes, transforming the way we approach care in both medical and therapeutic environments.
