Introduction
It is essential that rehabilitation workers recognise that displaced persons have often experienced significant trauma and stress. Being forced to share about traumatic events too soon can lead to re-traumatisation. Therefore, effective communication and knowledge of trauma-informed care are essential when working with this population. This course will explore these concepts and consider the role of interpreters and translators in facilitating optimal communication with displaced persons.
Aims
This course provides an overview of communication, creating a therapeutic alliance and trauma-informed care for displaced persons.
