• Work in tandem with psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure a holistic and integrated approach to patient care.
• Provide crisis intervention and support during trauma-related emergencies, utilizing telehealth techniques to assist patients promptly.
• Deliver educational resources to patients and their families regarding trauma responses, coping mechanisms, and available community resources.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, demonstrating compassion and a non-judgmental approach to patient care.
• Ability to handle high-stress situations with composure and calmness.

Preferred Experience
