For Medical Providers and Practices: Trauma-Informed Care Resources

Research continues to show that trauma-informed care is essential when treating pediatric populations. Trauma-informed care improves short- and long-term outcomes and increases patient engagement and trust. Through our Resilience Through Relationships Initiative, we’ve developed trainings, toolkits, and other trauma-informed pediatric care resources that provide practical solutions to address mental health as part of pediatric care.
