Wraparound

In the emergency department, we treat violently injured patients on nearly every shift. We can splint the broken bones, stitch up the cuts, and send seriously injured patients to the operating room with our surgical colleagues. We may be able to heal the physical wounds, but what about the emotional ones? And what happens to our patients when they go home to the same potentially unhealthy environments that led to the violent injury in the first place? The UC Davis Wraparound program addresses these issues and more. We talk with program Co-lead, Dr. Ian Brown, and Violence Intervention Specialist, Chevist Johnson, about how Wraparound works and why programs like these are so important. Do you have a similar program where you work, or are you interested in learning more about how to start one?
