Due to the pervasiveness of trauma, it is likely that many children and families seen in pediatric health settings have incurred traumatic experiences. These experiences can lead to a variety of negative medical, psychological, and social health outcomes. Therefore, a provider's focus on supporting resilience is integral. The use of trauma-informed care (TIC) is one way providers can work toward promoting a family's resilience. TIC is considered an organizational, attitudinal shift to understanding the broad impacts of trauma. This shift can contribute to changes in policies and procedures to make each system more welcoming to all those accessing the health system. This review will discuss the current pervasiveness of trauma, its associated impacts, the importance of TIC, and practical applications of TIC based on guiding principles provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. .

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a treatable pediatric condition, but children with racial-ethnic minority backgrounds often do not receive timely or consistent treatment. Understanding how systemic racism impacts care and learning from families of color about their experiences can provide critical insights for improving clinical practice and engaging patients equitably in ADHD care. We interweave a mother's experience navigating ADHD care for her son with commentary from an interprofessional team about what clinicians can do for families to reduce the impact of systemic racism on care.

Purposeof Review: In this article, we explore the current literature on traumatic brain injury (TBI) in survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and evaluate the barriers to studying this vulnerable population.
Recent Findings: Research on TBI and IPV is limited by multiple factors including mistrust of the healthcare system by survivors, lack of awareness by community advocates, and insufficient funding by public entities. As such, most investigations are small population, retrospective, and qualitative.

The Instagram account (@Balance_ton_bar) highlighted the issue of sexual violence in Brussels nightlife sharing testimonials from victim-survivors.

Introduction: In Australia, birth debriefing (BD) practices have primarily focused on clinical PTSD-FC, often neglecting the needs of mothers who describe their birth as traumatic but do not meet PTSD-FC criteria. The cessation of routine BD has overlooked a significant cohort- mothers experiencing subjective birth trauma (SBT). Their perceptions and wellbeing during the postpartum period remain poorly understood, and the lack of targeted interventions limits options for these mothers.
