Episode 34: Slowing Down for Safety

Posted on May 8, 2018

Podcasters: Matt Bennett, Curt Mower, & Dr. Jerry Yager

In the last couple of episodes, we did a deep dive into safety. We have more to say! In this episode, Matt, Curt, and Jerry will reflect on the material covered in the last couple of episodes. We will examine how safety planning plays promote trauma-informed services as well as look at how slowing down increases safety and helps us avoid re-traumatization.

Discussion Questions:

• How can we implement/improve safety planning in our services?
• Are there opportunities for us to slow down to improve outcomes?
• What are other ways we can reduce harm and improve psychological and physical safety?
