Link
Description
Describes how members of the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin are using a trauma-informed care model that provides social and behavioral health services to address the root causes of the excessive high school dropout rate within their tribal community. By recognizing the two main causes, poverty and trauma, healthcare providers were able to adjust their approach to patient-centered care and offer same day appointments, providing the help when needed. Menominee Nation is a recipient of the 2015 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health Prize.
