Let’s Talk about Trauma Informed Care

Episode 1: Let’s Talk About Trauma Informed Care - Colleen Hinkkala

What is Trauma Informed Care? Changing the narrative from “what’s wrong” to “what happened to you” and using that to better support patients as a nurse. 

In this episode we talk with Colleen Hinkkala, a RN and nursing instructor at BCIT, to learn how to recognize trauma to avoid retraumatizing the patient, as a nurse and how to better acknowledge what happened to the patient, and how it affects how they behave today and their decisions.
