Lecture: Trauma and Attachment-Informed Care: What is the OT Role?
Presented By: Tina Champagne, OT, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Presentation Description: Trauma, adversity, and attachment insecurities create challenges in occupational performance, participation and quality of life. Although the profession of occupational therapy has its earliest roots in the area of mental health practice, many still question the role of occupational therapy practitioners in providing trauma and attachment informed care (TAIC). This lecture will provide an overview of what constitutes trauma and attachment informed care, its evolution and expansion in occupational therapy practice, and ways that occupational therapy practitioners can further their knowledge and skills in TAIC.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this lecture, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how trauma, adversity, and attachment insecurities impact occupational performance, participation and quality of life.
  2. Describe the OT role in providing TAIC.
  3. Identify 2-3 ways that occupational therapy practitioners can expand upon their skills in providing TAIC.
