ING YO UW ELL to try new things things
It’s amazing because psychology in a medical setting has not always been well-received, even at other hospitals where I’ve worked. Our team is really valued and I think people are continually recognizing the importance of the psychological aspects of trauma. We are consulted on every trauma patient automatically, but sometimes doctors will reach out to us about a non-trauma patient because they’re seeing signs of emotional distress. That means people here recognize the importance of addressing both the physical and mental aspects of care. We’ve also done a number of initiatives to provide support to our own health care workers and providers, because they can experience secondary trauma from providing treatment. We are here to support everyone.
