For over a decade, the Center on Aging, Trauma, and Holocaust Survivor Care has served as the national resource on trauma and aging. This presentation explored the widespread impact of trauma across the lifespan and its unique challenges in older adulthood. Participants will learn how the person-centered, trauma-informed (PCTI) approach can enhance intake and referral services, helping to prevent retraumatization and promote trust, safety, and empowerment. Presenters introduced the PCTI Essentials For Aging Services, a training designed to support PCTI practices. PCTI Essentials is an innovative and free online course that provides practical strategies for applying the PCTI approach on the front lines.
