Complete a whole-person assessment.

The clinical team looks at symptoms and trauma history, along with substance use and sleep. Relationships and previous care are also reviewed. Safety needs and daily responsibilities help guide the treatment recommendation.
Step 3

Begin personalized, trauma-focused care.

Your plan may combine individual therapy and group support with evidence-based trauma therapies. Medication management may be included when appropriate, along with care for co-occurring conditions.
Step 4

Continue with the right level of support.
