4G: PIVOT in the Storm: Trauma-Informed Teaching During Hurricane Helene

Thursday, September 24 | 9:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. 

When Hurricane Helene disrupted an online nursing theory course, the faculty used an evidence-based PIVOT model—Prioritize individual needs, Implement compassionate communication, Validate experiences, Optimize flexibility, and Transform through reflection. This trauma-informed approach supported learning continuity, resilience, and community connection during disaster recovery.
