Description

In 2013, an independent review was undertaken of mental health and addiction programs and services offered by the IWK Health Centre and the Capital District Health Authority. One of the recommendations that came out of this review was that trauma-informed care become a system-level priority. This trauma informed model was rolled out across the IWK Health Centre and the NSHA’s child and adolescent mental health and addictions services. The Initiative involved initiating trauma-informed practices as well as providing information and resources to support trauma-informed care.
