The Future is Trauma-Informed: Advancing the Role of the Neonatal APN Beyond Clinical Expertise -- Becoming Architects of Healing
- Presenter(s): Mary Coughlin
- Session Length: 60 minutes
- Date: Oct 14, 2025
As Advanced Practice Nurses, we are more than clinicians—we are buffers against trauma, healers of the unseen wounds experienced by our tiniest patients, their families, and even ourselves. This session explores the neuroscience behind trauma-informed developmental care (TIDC) and the APN's pivotal role in mitigating early-life adversity while fostering resilience. Through real-world application, ethical reflection, and innovative strategies, we will redefine the APN's impact—not just in medical interventions, but in shaping a culture of healing and connection.
