It is not enough to simply treat the physical injury of a patient that you suspect to be the victim of violence. A doctor must recognize that the victim could be in danger of being re-victimized and the trauma associated with the injury could seriously harm an individual’s mental health and negatively influence their behavior. This is called trauma informed care.
Here are the steps to trauma informed care that every physician should be taking:
1. Detection
2. Characteristics
3. Referral for Interruption (If violence is ongoing)
4. Referrals for behavioral and mental health support
* For more information on injury types and descriptions see AAP guidelines.
