Embedding psychological care in trauma services may boost engagement and support recovery after injury. @Stimmermurillo @andrewtschramm @sachamcbainphd @MCWSurgery ovid.com/jnls/jtrauma/abstra…

For nearly 15 years, the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) has championed hospital-based violence intervention programs (#HVIPs) as a critical #publichealth strategy for reducing violence, especially in communities of color. Together we can end the disproportionate impact of violence on historically disinvested communities by fostering coordinated, community-led systems that heal trauma and promote equity.
