With a specialty in trauma and violence prevention, Ms. Riemer’s passion lies in applications of her abilities to educate nurses, interdisciplinary team members, and anyone interested as to knowledge, skills, attitudes, language, & behaviors required to support trauma sensitivity through the lens of the Nursing Practice Act and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Standards of Practice. Providing education around the dynamics of trauma informed care at the intersection of recovery principles and ethical standards in ways that encourage knowledge transfer moving forward into their careers, communities, families and relationships will enhance patient care by supporting attitudes of do not harm; promote recovery for individuals, their families and communities; as well as increase the credibility of the profession.
