The National Child Traumatic Stress Network

January 1, 2016

This toolkit was produced by the Medical Traumatic Stress Working Group of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) to:

-Raise awareness among health care providers about traumatic stress associated with pediatric medical events and medical treatment, as it may affect children and families.

-Promote “trauma-informed practice” of pediatric health care in hospital settings across the continuum of care and in a variety of settings within the hospital- e.g., from emergency care, to specialized inpatient units, to the ICU.
