The center will begin offering services Aug 1, which include bedside patient engagement at UC Davis Medical Center for trauma-informed mental health services, and safety planning for victims of violent crime and their families, according to a May 30 news release. The UC Davis Trauma Recovery Center will also support patients in accessing longer-term mental health services as needed.
UC Davis Health’s CAARE Center — which stands for Child and Adolescent Abuse Resource and Evaluation — has been providing services at UC Davis Children’s Hospital for years. The CAARE center will oversee the new trauma recovery center, and will collaborate with existing hospital-based violence prevention and intervention programs in offering services.
