Wellness Reminder


We have had "Wellness Reminders" every month in our newsletter, but when we are discussing trauma, it is especially important to not forget to "put your oxygen mask" on first.


The National Academy of Medicine’s Clinical Well-Being Knowledge Hub is a site that has developed a National Plan for Health Workforce Well-being. They offer a database of peer-reviewed articles and research studies regarding clinician burnout and many more resources.

A Pediatric Approach to Trauma


We have a great deal of work to do as a community in the area of trauma. Oklahomans have a much larger likelihood of having experienced trauma in their lifetime than most of the other states in the nation. One example is the number of children who experienced maltreatment. In Oklahoma, 15.4% per 1000 children were victims of substantiated or indicated maltreatment in 2020 compared to the national average of 8.4% per 1000 children.


It is important to know this information, however, it is also important to know what to do with the information. There is a great deal of discussion around the nation on the topics of resilience and prevention; knowing this information gives us the power to take action to change Oklahoma's trauma statistics.


The American Academy of Pediatrics, in collaboration with other organizations, implemented a national educational program titled Pediatric Approach to Trauma, Treatment and Resilience (PATTeR).
