How to Provide Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed Care to Older Refugees

The JFNA Center on Aging and Trauma in collaboration with The International Rescue Committee’s New Jersey Office for Refugees invite you to participate in, How to Provide Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed Care to Older Refugees. Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed care is a holistic approach to service provision developed by The JFNA Center on Aging and Trauma that infuses knowledge about trauma into agency programs and procedures as a way to promote the well-being and empowerment of trauma survivors. During this webinar, experts will share critical emerging trends in aging and trauma and strategies in how to support older adults with a history of trauma, including older refugees.  To register for this webinar, please click here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QkDjXz3HSi6wictu4_z_1w
