Description

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a vital framework for pediatric APRNs to support children affected by trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). TIC promotes holistic, compassionate care while minimizing re-traumatization. The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners created an evidence-based TIC toolkit to guide APRNs in applying TIC in clinical settings. This session highlights the toolkit’s practical application and the importance of universal TIC adoption to improve long-term health outcomes.
