Recorded AIDS Seminar: Trauma-Informed Care and HIV

Speaker: Stephen Brady, PhD

Brief Description: This presentation focuses on trauma informed care for patients with HIV who often have a range of stressors including interpersonal violence histories notable for physical and sexual abuse.  Other stressors may also include stigma, addiction, poverty, and discrimination. In particular, the lives of women and LGBTQI people are disproportionately impacted by trauma. The presentation focuses on common responses to trauma, psychiatric comorbidities, and strategies for managing patients in a trauma informed manner including the use of motivational interviewing.
