Abstract
Palliative care social workers are trained to identify how trauma manifests over the course of serious and chronic illness. This expertise can guide patients and team members to ensure a trauma-informed experience of care. This paper identifies the growth of outpatient palliative care clinics as an opportunity for palliative care social workers to emphasize this clinical skill set and assume a leadership role in the implementation of trauma-informed practices early in the trajectory of serious illness.
