Abstract
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an essential holistic framework for pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to understand, recognize, and respond to children and families who have experienced trauma while resisting re-traumatization. TIC allows APRNs to engage with children with an understanding of how trauma impacts well-being. Universal adoption of TIC is prudent; it assumes all patients experience some degree of trauma and disclosure is limited. The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners Partners for Vulnerable Youth published an evidence-based TIC toolkit online for pediatric-focused ARPNs as a clinical guide for TIC application. This article reviews toolkit elements and demonstrates practical application of TIC.
