Activity Questions:
- Intergenerational Trauma is more common than we think. Why is it that there is this stigma toward understanding trauma?
- Dr. King reframes the question healthcare workers should ask themselves when treating patients from “What is wrong with this patient?” to “What happened to this person and how can I help?” Think back to a patient you had who presented long term trauma. By reframing the question, would you have treated that patient differently? Explain.
- Would you be interested in spearheading adversity based training in your place of employment? How would you go about doing it?
