Description

This presentation highlights how trauma-informed care (TIC) strengthens client engagement, clinical outcomes, and workforce resilience—especially for people with HIV, a population disproportionately affected by trauma, stigma, and structural barriers. Drawing from implementation projects, educational initiatives, and practice transformation efforts, this session demonstrates how integrating TIC principles into dental and interprofessional healthcare settings improves trust, adherence, communication, and overall health experiences. Participants will explore the neurobiological and behavioral effects of trauma, recognize how trauma intersects with whole person-centered HIV care, and learn practical strategies to create safe and person-centered environments. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration, culturally responsive care, and systems-level change to ensure care delivery is clinically effective, compassionate, and responsive to lived experience.
