Are you looking for concrete guidance about how to make your primary care organization more trauma-informed?
Earlier this year, to help primary care address the impacts of trauma, the National Council for Behavioral Health, with the support of Kaiser Permanente, launched a three-year initiative, Trauma-Informed Primary Care: Fostering Resilience and Recovery.
Over 14 months, seven primary care organizations worked with National Council experts to pilot resources, tools and processes, developed by a multidisciplinary team of health care stakeholders, designed to guide the planning, implementation and evaluation of a trauma-informed approach in primary care.
The selected participants were:
- Malama I Ke Ola – Wailuku, Hawaii
- Colorado Coalition for the Homeless – Denver, Colo.
- Richmond Behavioral Health Authority – Richmond, Va.
- Zufall Health Center – Dover, N.J.
- Peninsula Community Health Services – Bremerton, Wash.
- Oregon Health & Science University, Family Medicine at Richmond Clinic – Portland, Ore.
- Willamette Family, Inc. – Eugene, Ore.
