Looking to Long Beach Experts, Regional Organizations Push to Advance Trauma-Informed Care [LBPost.com]

 

Efforts are underway in figuring out how to best provide care for children who have experienced trauma in their lives, with regional expert organizations looking at one of Long Beach’s very own health care providers for guidance.

Experts from First 5 LA, the California Community Foundation, the California Endowment and the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation are among a group of organizations that recently announced a collective effort to advance a comprehensive approach to trauma-informed care in the county, according to statement provided to the Post.

“Childhood trauma is a serious health concern affecting many children and families,” stated First 5 LA Executive Director Kim Belshé. "A young child living through a difficult home situation may be unable to express their fears and feelings clearly. We must speak for them. By using a trauma-informed approach in our work with County residents, we can help minimize the impact of trauma and give families the opportunity to reverse its harmful impact on our youngest children.”
