Supporting Displaced People with TIC

The global refugee crisis is growing, and with it, the urgent need for compassionate, trauma-informed support. Millions of people are forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, and climate disasters, often experiencing profound trauma along the way. As professionals in healthcare, social work, and community services, we face the challenge of providing care that acknowledges these experiences while also protecting our own well-being.

To support professionals working with displaced individuals, Trauma Informed Academy presents a recorded webinar and a comprehensive Expert Guide on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) for Displaced People. Originally created for Social Work students at Seneca Polytech Academy in Toronto, this webinar, led by Nikki Nooteboom, offers valuable insights into the psychological impact of displacement, practical approaches for providing care, and essential self-care strategies for professionals.

What You’ll Learn

This webinar and guide provide an in-depth exploration of:

• The Trauma-Informed Approach: How understanding trauma shapes our ability to offer effective, compassionate care.
• The Three Phases of the Refugee Journey:
  1. Journey and flight – The dangers, stressors, and psychological effects of forced displacement.
  2. Arrival in a new country – Challenges of refugee camps, institutional barriers, and racism.
  3. Building a new life – Navigating systemic discrimination, cultural identity struggles, and rebuilding trust.
• Practical Support Strategies: Trauma-informed techniques that prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment.
• Self-Care and Resilience for Professionals: Preventing burnout, managing secondary trauma, and fostering a supportive workplace culture.

Why This Matters

Displaced individuals don’t just need shelter—they need dignity, safety, and understanding. This webinar and guide offer actionable tools for professionals to create environments where people feel heard and supported, without re-traumatization. Moreover, the content emphasizes the well-being of care workers, recognizing that sustainable support is only possible when professionals are equipped with the right knowledge and self-care practices.

By embracing a Trauma-Informed Care approach, we contribute to a more inclusive, resilient, and compassionate world—one where displaced people are not just seen as refugees but as individuals with unique experiences, strengths, and the right to rebuild their lives with dignity.
