Providing Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care. What it Means, and How UK HealthCare Can Help

CPTS is part of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). It brings together a unique multi-disciplinary team headquartered at three institutions: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Nemours Children’s Health, and University of Kentucky HealthCare. We work closely with familyadvocates and frontline healthcare providers around the United States and internationally. Our mission is to reduce pediatric medical traumatic stress by promoting trauma-informed healthcare. We reach healthcare providers and systems - disseminating evidence-based practices and screening tools and training providers to recognize and address traumatic stress in children. We provide resources for pediatric patients and their families in English and Spanish.
