About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

As a baby mental health professional myself, its mind-blowing to me that trauma informed care is a "new" take in mental health care!!! Mind-blowing that that wasn't always the approach, it's so intuitive and now we finally have the evidence to back it.
-
Basic question shift: "what's wrong with you?" being changed to, "What happened to you?"
-
Treating a patient from a trauma-informed approach is crucial to providing them the space to heal and grow. This provides the understanding that most people need in the importance of reaching those with previous traumas from a safe medical standpoint.

I have gone around in this exact circle for the last 3 years and some therapists became straight up inappropriate and belligerent when i tried to point this out. Some of the worst behaviour came from the facilitators at a women’s Trauma Therapy Program at a hospital... its mind blowing how arrogant healthcare “professionals “ can get about being right when what they’re doing is not working for you

I work in the mental health field and this helped with the lil bit of burnout I got going on. It's important to remember that the people we serve are not making the choices we see as harmful because they "want to live like that" or they "don't care."
-
Dr. Kelly does a great job! Healthcare providers, educators, people in person oriented fields should take an interest in becoming trauma informed.
-
I have noticed that coping mechanisms can change daily, the oddest things will reignite the memories of trauma. This is not an easy field to study. Thank you for a well presented program.
-
Thank you. Finally people are catching up with what survivors have known/lived with all along... I am very grateful.

Outstanding, informative presentation. Thank you!

Wow. Thank you so much for this talk. I’m 60 and still trying to heal from this. I’m glad this is becoming known. I almost feel it’s too late for me. You’re right it ends up effecting even the good that happens to us. It effects your whole life and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It’s lonely. I need a group of women to heal alongside. Hopefully it will happen for those of us who most likely isolated like myself.
