Every patient deserves compassionate, trauma-informed care, and it is particularly critical for clients coping with the experience of homelessness. How can clinicians ensure that all patients—including those who can be challenging to work with—are treated with humanity and respect?
The “Humanism Pocket Tool” provides one solution. Emerging from lessons learned at a clinic for veterans without homes, this compact set of techniques and strategies—summarized on a pocket card—offers practical tips to improve your practice and interactions with patients and staff alike. Join our webinar to learn how to provide compassionate care to even the most challenging of patients.
