Addressing Trauma in Pediatric Primary Care
Audience
Pediatric primary care providers: Pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
Description
Participants will learn how to effectively detect and respond to trauma in the pediatric primary care setting. The experienced faculty team will include at least one mental health professional and one pediatric primary care provider.
Like all REACH courses, Addressing Trauma in Pediatric Primary Care follows a format grounded in adult learning research. It has two components:
- A dynamic full-day workshop focused on building knowledge, skills, and confidence in addressing youth trauma.
- Four, follow-up case-based group learning calls to help participants implement the principles learned during the workshop. Each video call lasts one hour.
Participants can earn up to 11.25 CME credits for both components.
Course Goals
In this course, participants will learn to:
- Differentiate between adverse childhood experiences and traumatic stress
- Detect and respond to trauma in older children and adolescents
- Implement the Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress
- Distinguish between evidence-based trauma focused and trauma informed treatments
- Use trauma informed pharmacologic principles

Learning how much trauma affects people in their life down the line was eye-opening for me. It’s not as scary as it seems. The more you do it, the more comfortable you get with it, and you don’t shy away from it.
