In this engaging session, we will explore the complex world of race-based traumatic stress and its profound impact on clients of color. The session begins with a review of the conceptual model, where we will examine the theoretical framework behind racial trauma and how historical trauma continues to shape present-day experiences. We will then explore common responses to trauma, uncovering typical reactions and coping mechanisms, while also discussing resilience and healing strategies. The session will also cover key risk and protective factors, identifying elements that influence racial trauma and providing insights on how to mitigate risks and enhance protective factors. Clinicians will gain valuable cultural competence by enhancing their ability to provide sensitive care and developing practical skills for culturally competent therapy. Throughout the session, participants will engage in interactive learning, including self-reflection exercises, group activities, and discussions, while also accessing audio/visual resources for a comprehensive and enriching experience.

The orientation for the clinical practicum will prepare the RN Refresher nurse for the clinical experience with a preceptor. Information will be provided to guide the RN Refresher through the preparation process. The RN Refresher must have completed and passed all required modules in the theory course before clinical placement can occur.

The RN Refresher program is offered in collaboration with the University of North Carolina School of Nursing, and is approved by the North Carolina Board of Nursing. Nurses who have an active or inactive license, or have been away from nursing and want to update their knowledge and skills will benefit from this course. This orientation activity will guide students through the process of the program.

This preceptor training program consists of four half-hour online modules designed to address critical gaps in clinical teaching practices, particularly in the areas of health equity, communication, and personalized education. The modules aim to (1) reinforce foundational preceptor skills, (2) provide tools for integrating health equity principles into clinical education, (3) enhance communication strategies with diverse learner populations, and (4) develop methods to recognize and accommodate different learning styles and cognitive needs.

The integration of behavioral health care into primary care is now widely considered an effective strategy for improving outcomes for patients with physical and behavioral health
conditions. Reverse integration of primary care into behavioral healthcare is another form of integration that produces improved quality of care and patient outcomes.
This online series will focus on the reverse integration process and provide details on how to implement this new model of care. Participants will learn the benefits of this model of care, how to use electronic health records (EHRs) to improve continuity of care in an integrated setting, how to integrate physical health assessments into EHRs, the financial aspects of integrated care, as well as other clinical and operational aspects of providing this model of care.
