Abstract
The need for mental health services in primary care settings to address trauma remains a pressing issue for pediatrics. The existing literature supports the compatibility of Trauma-Informed Care Principles in Patient-Centered settings to address trauma, yet despite professional guidelines highlighting these models, a specific example within a primary care setting remains unrealized. This paper will conceptualize a Trauma Informed Medical Home model with Integrated Behavioral Health utilizing some aligning concepts such as safety, accessibility and collaboration found within the Trauma Informed Care and a Medical Home guideline. The resulting conceptualized model will represent a strengthened primary care setting where the delivery of mental health services using a trauma-informed lens can optimize patient-centered primary care medical home services.
