ABSTRACT
Given the widespread impact of child trauma, it is important that child- and family-serving systems adopt trauma-informed care. Because of their integral relationships with families, pediatricians and family medicine physicians play critical roles in disrupting negative societal and developmental cascades for trauma-exposed youth through their potential for early identification and intervention. When implemented alongside organization-wide trauma-informed care practices, trauma screening is one concrete trauma-informed care practice that has shown both feasibility and positive impacts on pediatric healthcare. In support of this practice, the Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS) helps pediatric care providers to identify and respond to children and adolescents who may need trauma-focused supports. In this paper we discuss the importance of pediatric physicians adopting trauma-informed care and how evidence-based screening practices in pediatric settings is a trauma-responsive approach with great potential for meeting unmet needs among trauma-exposed children and families.
