An interactive introduction to Distress-Informed Care (DIC) involving the science behind trauma and distress and how this relates to Māori, along with simple guidelines for a variety of service provider and clinical practice backgrounds relating to Māori, followed by integration of the course content into a workshop involving hypothetical case studies.
This interactive introductory course aims to provide members of the public, healthcare workers, and socio-economic support services an understanding of the factors, mechanisms, and systems associated with trauma and distress along with how this relates to Māori. The science behind trauma and distress will then be integrated into safe and effective DIC-based guidelines designed to achieve earlier intervention, improved direction towards specialist services, improved intervention strategies, in addition to improved outcomes and prognosis for Māori. The science and guidelines will then be integrated into an interactive workshop involving hypothetic case studies.
