SPC01--Morning- Together We Thrive: A Team-based Approach to Address Medical Traumatic Stress in PwCF Across the Lifespan

Wednesday, October 22, 2025
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT
Location: 335-336
This special class is designed for CF healthcare providers of any discipline who are interested in learning strategies to support people with CF across the lifespan to address medical traumatic stress. The course will include tools that apply along the continuum of experience, including anticipatory anxiety and more severe medical anxiety and trauma. CF-specific skills practice will include tools to prepare caregivers, individuals with CF, and care team members to proactively minimize and manage anxiety and stress-reactions associated with procedures. Participants can register for the morning session, the afternoon session, or both.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the interrelationships of pain, procedural anxiety, and medical traumatic stress.
  • Learn how the CF interdisciplinary care team can prevent, identify, and address medical traumatic stress and anxiety.
  • Practice using preventative and “in-the moment” strategies to reduce anxiety with medical procedures.
