Final Summary
In all that we strive to do for our individuals, there are going to be circumstances that occur that are beyond our control. Effective communication with an individual’s family at the time of death is crucial. Grieving is a natural response to loss and is highly individual. Your feelings are valid. It is important to recognize them, process them, and release them. Do not hesitate to reach out to your supervisor, co-workers, or KEAP Services, for additional support and training.

What is Trauma?
Trauma can be experienced in a variety of ways. According to the American Psychological Association, trauma is defined as an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
The term trauma covers a range of elements:
Because the experience of trauma is unique, exposure to the same type of trauma may be experienced differently at different times in our life and impact different areas of function. There is no right or wrong way to respond to trauma.
Watch this short video defining trauma. The video must be watched entirely in order to progress through the course. You do not need to watch any recommended videos that pop up at the end.
