Recognizing the Trauma of Adverse Childhood Experiences

ABSTRACT: Childhood trauma is linked to long-term negative health outcomes throughout the lifespan and is recognized as a public health crisis. Using the framework of the four main components of trauma-informed care is a beginning step in meeting the deep, unmet needs of adult patients with sensitivity and awareness. Christian nurses recognize Jesus as the first trauma-informed provider and model his relational characteristics as they promote healing from trauma.
