I found this document by Futures Without Violence to be a useful resource. From the forward:
The health care system plays an important role both in
identifying children who may be exposed to extreme
adversity and violence, currently and in the past, and in
providing the evidence-based interventions that can help
children heal from trauma and prevent health conditions
and other poor outcomes associated with trauma and ACEs.
The health care system is also central in supporting the
greatest resource a child has: a stable, safe and nurturing
parent or caregiver. Because health care providers also
interact with parents, their potential to help children is
even greater.
This paper will help states do just that by highlighting
health care responses and payment strategies at the
state level that promote or cover promising approaches
for addressing immediate health issues associated with
trauma and ACEs.
I attach the full report below.
