Phoenix Center at Anschutz has been diligently working to create a platform to collect stories from patients and medical professionals.
Our goals are to create awareness of the treatment of patients who have experienced interpersonal violence, to show the importance of Trauma & Violence Informed Care Education and how having those skills as a medical professional can greatly improve the experience of patients, as well as comparatively how not utilizing best practices can negatively impact patients.
We aim to demonstrate to the public, with real-life examples, how vital trauma-informed care is in the medical professions.
