Pediatricians and other pediatric health professionals are daily being challenged by the youth mental health crisis, the shortage of pediatric mental health professionals, and their own risk for burnout. Research increasingly shows that a trauma-informed care approach, like that presented in Coaching Families for Resilience, can help address some of the most pressing issues facing families and pediatric care providers. Coaching Families for Resilience offers a structured program that pediatricians can offer within the framework of primary care office visits. It is designed to teach parents and kids skills and techniques to begin addressing trauma, toxic stress, and behavioral and mental health issues immediately, even while waiting for an appointment with a therapist or psychiatrist.
