Description:
The theological premises of a Catholic-Christian anthropology, that humans are created, fallen, and redeemed (Vitz et al., 2020) and the key elements of trauma-informed care (SAMHSA, 2014) both highlight the ubiquity of suffering, woundedness, and the call to flourishing in humans across all roles: patient, therapist, trainee, and supervisor. This presentation provides a review of the principles of trauma-informed care and supervision and discusses the implications of these principles on client welfare, trainee learning, and trainee wellbeing. Case examples will be used to discuss the application of trauma-informed supervision principles and interventions across the client-trainee-supervisor triad.
