Exciting News! Authors Anita B. Rankin, MA, ATR, CPT, and Mary Michola Fibich, MA, ATR, announce their newest book, published by the?Traumatic Stress Institute/Sidran Press: Transform Stress, Crisis and Trauma through Creativity: An Art Therapy and Writing Workbook to Activate Wellness Strategies. Our new blog post, written by the authors themselves, introduces you to their creation: We developed and refined this workbook over seven years during which political upheaval and division, terrorism, wars, famine, gun violence, economic issues, and the pandemic were occurring. We felt that in today's highly-connected world, the prevalence of individual and collective stress is much more evident, affecting all of us in greater ways than ever before. Through our work with hundreds of individuals and diverse groups – in private practice, trauma and rape crisis centers, addiction treatment programs, medical facilities, wellness retreat centers, as well as hospice, school, corporate, and prison settings – we grew to believe that: 1. Collective stressors wear us down.? 2. Personal stressors – whether mild, moderate, or severe – add to the taxing picture.? 3. Many of us find it hard to voice difficult thoughts and feelings. ..click below to read more/purchase #traumainformed #traumahealing #stress #arttherapy Patricia Wilcox, Steve Brown, Psy.D., John Engel, LaVerne Baker Hotep, Tanji Donald, Vanessa N.

Traumatic experiences during pregnancy and birth can deeply affect both mothers and infants, but did you know they also impact healthcare providers? New research highlights the use of the ARTIC Scale in a perinatal setting to measure the effect of trauma-informed care (TIC) education on healthcare providers. The study shows that nurses witnessing birth trauma experience secondary traumatic stress, but that TIC education is making a difference for both them and the patients they care for. Thanks to LaTasha Coleman-Reece, M.S., PMH-C, CPD(CBI) for highlighting this research. #TraumaInformedCare #MaternalHealth Understanding Vicarious Trauma in Perinatal Nurses: The ARTIC Scale in Clinical Care https://hubs.ly/Q02RSktZ0
