Trauma-informed Healthcare Approaches: A Guide for Primary Care

 

Our recently published book, Trauma-informed Healthcare Approaches was written to share basic principles of trauma-informed care and ACEs science with general medical practitioners and administrators. As the recent #METOO movement has demonstrated, interpersonal trauma is widespread. A growing literature has demonstrated the impact of traumatic experiences on mental, physical health and wellbeing.  Trauma survivors commonly access healthcare but their histories and needs are commonly misunderstood or misinterpreted. Trauma-informed care is an approach that creates a welcoming and safe care environment for all.  ‘Trauma-informed Healthcare Approaches provides a detailed and practical “hands-on” guide to trauma-informed care. Chapters provide guidance to both frontline clinicians and healthcare administrators on actionable strategies for adopting, implementing and sustaining principles of trauma-informed care. The book begins with a broad overview of the prevalence and types of traumatic exposures, this is followed by a broad and innovative framework (‘the 4 Cs’) developed by Leigh Kimberg, MD that facilitates care transformation at the level of the patient encounter and beyond. Next, we review strategies to serve high-risk populations, including sexual and gender minority persons, Black men, immigrants, and Veterans.

Chapters on holistic nursing care of adult patients, trauma-informed primary and maternity care are included as well as a chapter on the importance of addressing trauma exposure early in care settings that serve children, adolescents, and their families. Finally caring for trauma-exposed patients can place a strain on clinicians and staff, approaches for fostering resilience and promoting wellness in the healthcare workforce are presented. Practical case discussions, toolkits, and resources are shared throughout the book.  Written by experts in the field, ‘Trauma-Informed Healthcare Approaches’ is the definitive resource for improving quality care for patients who have experienced trauma.
