Health care professionals increasingly recognize the detrimental impact of trauma on patients’ lives and health outcomes. As a result, there is burgeoning interest in the use of evidence-based trauma treatments and the delivery of trauma-informed care. Five leading complex care organizations across the country recently sought to train their staff in a variety of evidence-based trauma treatment approaches: Seeking Safety; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; and Attachment, Regulation, and Competency.
A new technical assistance brief from the Center for Health Care Strategies, made possible by Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, draws from the experiences of these five sites to outline considerations for training and implementation of trauma treatment models in health care settings. The experiences of these five complex care programs can inform the efforts of other provider organizations seeking to adopt an evidence-based approach to trauma treatment.
