Online Stigma, Bias, and Trauma-Informed Care Training

​

Description: In partnership with the Brigham & Women's Hospital C.A.R.E. (Coordinated Approach to Resilience and Empowerment) Clinic, PNQIN is proud to offer online stigma, bias, and trauma-informed care training. This team-focused training is led by Dr. Annie Lewis-O'Connor and is intended for maternal and neonatal health care and service providers. The training content is centered on patients experiencing Substance or Opioid Use Disorder (SUD/OUD) and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).

​

Training topics include: Trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), unconscious bias and stigma, structural racism, and the six principles of trauma-informed care.

​

Training objectives:

  • Understand the roles of stigma, bias, and trauma-informed care and resilience on disparities in health and birth outcomes specifically:

    • Pain management for pregnant and postpartum patients experiencing OUD

    • Discharge and prescription practices for obstetric patients

    • OUD treatment bias for pre- and postpartum patients

​

IMPORTANT: This training was initially designed to be interactive and delivered in a group setting. We encourage you to gather a group from your hospital to watch the training recording, then debrief and discuss together. However, all team members must register individually and complete the post-test survey individually. Please do so, as this will help us keep accurate records of who completed the training. Thank you!
