Abstract

Trauma-informed care integrates an understanding of the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences and their impact on lifelong health. The science of early brain development reveals that the environment in which children develop-family, community, and culture-impacts brain development, health, and genetics. In the medical home, being trauma-informed is important for prevention and amelioration of this impact.
