The Life Events Checklist has 17 specific traumatic events, but you can consider a shorter list that we will be implementing into our PHC health risk assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Have you been involved in or exposed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A natural disaster such as a flood, fire or earthquake?<\/li>\n<li>Combat or a warzone?<\/li>\n<li>Physical or emotional abuse?<\/li>\n<li>Sexual abuse or assault?<\/li>\n<li>Sudden violent death or unexpected death in someone close to you?<\/li>\n<li>Any serious harm, injury or death caused by you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trauma is treatable. There are many evidence-based models and practices to help heal our patients and improve the behavioral manifestations of trauma.\u00a0 A history of trauma is often hidden or denied and we don\u2019t often ask about trauma in our patients with problematic behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>How will this play out in your practices?\u00a0 The next time someone acts out in your practice, consider asking \u201cCan you tell me what happened to you?\u201d instead of \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d You may be surprised at the answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHC has had intensive care management programs in many of our FQHCs since 2012.\u00a0 These care management programs will be evolving into our health homes programs in 2017.\u00a0 Health Homes is an evolution of the patient centered medical home with &hellip;
