Trauma-Informed Care with Rachel Archambault

Xceptional Leaders with Mai Ling Chan & James Berges

Today James sits down with Rachel Archambault, who is a speaker and consultant in the area of trauma-informed care as well as a licensed speech-language pathologist. Rachel collaborates with service providers (SLPs, doctors, PT/OT, etc.), parents, businesses, schools, hospitals, universities, rehab, and communities to incorporate trauma-informed care into their settings with clients. She speaks with James about how experiencing a traumatic event was the impetus for launching the PTSD SLP, she shares her thoughts on acknowledging the line between the scope of practice for an SLP and a psychologist, and shares some examples of how language can cause trauma to resurface for people and how to avoid certain terms and phrases in our speech.
