Have you ever cared for a family with whom you could never build rapport? And maybe everyone struggled to build rapport with this family, it wasn’t just you. Did you try to avoid working with the family? Did you start feeling tired when you were headed into work because you thought you would have to “deal with” this family? How can we be better prepared to manage these situations, so our cup is not empty at the end of the day? This presentation will describe how our own trauma and triggers can lead to strained relationships with patients/families who are in the midst of an often-scary NICU experience.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Explain how trauma can trigger families
Describe how trauma may trigger the provider
Recognize how trauma and triggers can impact resiliency
