An Introduction to the Delivery of Trauma-Informed Care

Meghan Marsac, PhD, is Director of Training for the Violence Prevention Initiative (VPI), now Center for Violence Prevention, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a pediatric psychologist and behavioral researcher. She conducts an introductory webinar on trauma-informed care that educates participants about how previous traumas can affect how children, families, and providers respond to treatment and outreach in clinical settings. Dr. Marsac offers examples of trauma-informed actions, and suggests further training to help build the skills to put this into practice. For more information on VPI visit chop.edu/violence.

This is a fantastic piece. Unfortunately we in the US operate in a profit driven work environment. I am sure many health care professionals have encountered situation where their love of the patient has resulted in decreased performance metrics.
