Summary

The unfolding epidemics and crises of the last year and a half provide stark reminders that no person or setting is ever safe from the impacts of traumas. Now more than ever, it’s critical for us as researchers to anticipate and plan for the realities of trauma as it emerges in our work (and in ourselves). Join us for a discussion of how the panelists came to embrace trauma-informed practices and how they have led to changes in the way we approach our work. Being trauma-informed and -responsive is not a destination but rather a constant state of becoming. You’ll leave with the information you need to start this journey in your own practice.

Key Insights

  • Understanding trauma is critical for anyone working with vulnerable populations.

  • Trauma affects individuals differently, and responses to trauma can vary widely.

  • Researchers must prioritize the well-being of participants over data collection.

  • Creating safe and comfortable environments can help mitigate potential trauma during research.

  • Self-care is vital for researchers to avoid vicarious trauma and burnout.

  • Incorporating lived experiences into research design enhances sensitivity and effectiveness.

  • Having support teams or partners during research can help manage challenging situations.

  • Organizations need to embody trauma-informed practices at all levels for true impact.

  • Cultural sensitivity is essential when dealing with diverse populations.

  • Being trauma-informed is a continuous journey and not a one-time checklist.
