Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies – Trauma Informed Care

This January, Breastfeed Orange NC was delighted to participate in the production of a role-play video to demonstrate the principles of trauma induced care (TIC) for a webinar training by the Infant Feeding in Emergencies (IFE) Core Group, the Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) Global Thematic Working Group in the Global Nutrition Cluster (https://www.nutritioncluster.net/thematic-areas/infant-and-young-child-feeding-emergencies).

The video is a foundational component of the training webinar, Integrating Mental Health and Psychosocial Support into Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies programming, which will be presented by the Infant Feeding in Emergencies (IFE) Core Group, in partnership with the MAMI Global Network and the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC), on Wednesday, February 11th, at 8am ET.

Register HERE for the training.

Videotaped here in Chapel Hill, we are thankful for the participation of local Breastfeeding Communities advocates – Love Anderson and Lua Breneman – who took on the roles of the nutrition counselor and parent. Thank you, too, to Adam Booher of Found Media (foundmedia.io), which is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

If you are unable to attend the live event, the link to the webinar recording and the slides and other resources, will be posted on the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC) website:

Here is the link to the role-play video,Trauma Informed Care for Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies: https://vimeo.com/1163641590/353e7b07d7?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci
According to the producer, the video can be “adapted for use in multiple settings and underscores the power of this medium for training and the dissemination of TIC [Trauma Informed Care] principles.”

Breastfeed Orange NC was grateful to have a small part in this important production.
We hope that all in our emergency response community will take advantage of this training.
