Psychosocial Trauma Support

Sometimes experiences with illness, accidents, injuries or physical abuse can leave a lasting impact on children’s minds. While some are able to cope with the experience and move on, some others and their families may benefit from psychosocial support and intervention.

In keeping with our philosophy of holistic care, we have a multidisciplinary team, comprising Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Psychologists, Nurse Clinicians and Psychiatric Occupational Therapists, who help patients and their families deal with the after-effects of a traumatic experience.

The service also works closely with paediatricians, other child mental health professionals and community organizations to minimize trauma-related distress among children.

Range of Services:

• Assessment of psychological trauma following traumatic experiences (e.g. injury, traffic accident, assault, burns, near drowning, falls etc)
• Specialised intervention for trauma related issues (e.g. traumatic stress symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks and new fears, phobias, depression, adjustment difficulties etc)
• Collaboration with hospital services towards early identification of children with trauma symptoms, leading to early intervention
• Training healthcare workers in trauma informed care to minimise psychological trauma for children in hospital

For now, only internal referrals are accepted.
