Description

All too many persons receiving care in obstetrical, gynecological, and reproductive medicine settings have experienced trauma in their past, more recently than and/or concurrently with treatment. Dr. Helen L. Coons will highlight essential components of trauma-informed care when individuals are facing obstetrical, gynecological, or infertility procedures. Integrated and community-based psychologists can effectively offer trauma-informed care and collaborate with clinical providers to improve patient experiences, outcomes, and well-being. Dr. Coons will provide case discussions that focus on clinical approaches for patients from diverse communities with histories of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, or medical trauma who are receiving care in OBGYN and reproductive medicine.
