In our line of work, we often are either caring for traumatized children as our primary patients, or they are accompanying a parent there to see us. Futures Without Violence recently published Everyday Magic: 16 Ways Adults Can Support Children Exposed to Violence and Trauma (PDF). Let’s face it, there aren’t enough things coming across my desk with the word “magic” in them, so I confess, points to the authors for the title alone. It’s more than a pleasing title, though; it’s nicely referenced, straight-forward, and distributable to other colleagues who could use the assist, as well–might be a good one for discussion at your next ED inservice, or staff or MDT meeting.
