RECORDED-CSHA Webinar: Trauma-Informed Voice Care – 90-Minute

90-Minute Recording
This recording will be available from January 1-30, 2023

Presented by Geneva Mayne, SLPD, CCC-SLP

Abstract:
Voice professionals may encounter patients and clients experiencing emotional distress. Trauma is a psychosocial risk factor in patients with functional voice disorders (FVDs), which are functional neurological disorders (FNDs) with “speech symptoms” (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). In FNDs, patients' primary complaints are usually somatic symptoms though they may have co-occurring psychological stressors and dissociative symptoms. Patients and clients may not feel comfortable disclosing a trauma history. Practitioners, however, can practice trauma-informed voice care with or without trauma inquiry or disclosure.

Learner Outcomes:
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify and explain how social determinants of health (SDOHs) may contribute to trauma symptoms in patients with functional neurological disorders with communication symptoms such as muscle tension dysphonia.
• List the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) four assumptions of trauma-informed care.
• Recognize how trauma-informed practices may advance health equity for vulnerable populations seeking voice care.
• Recognize relevant ethical considerations within the SLP scope of practice and competence.

• 15 minutes: Introduction
• 15 minutes: Social Determinants of Health and Trauma
• 30 minutes: Trauma-Informed care and Health Equity
• 15 minutes: Trauma-Informed Care and the SLP Scope of Practice
