Pediatric Psychological Trauma Conference www.pediatricpsychologicaltrauma.org
Are you aware that . . . . . . . .
Children under the age of five
* are at the highest risk for accidents, illness and invasive disease,
* experience the most hospitalizations as well as emergency room, out-patient and doctor office visits,
* are the least prepared and most vulnerable to the pain, stress and unpredictability of medical events,
* are defenseless to the harmful effects of these early experiences that can last a lifetime
Significant research efforts have improved the outcome for premature infants in the NICU and countless studies have been undertaken that address the needs of 6 to 18 years olds. However children birth to five, the highest consumers of pediatric health care, have been neglected! This first-ever conference will begin to change that reality.
