Welcome to Health Care Toolbox!

Welcome to Health Care Toolbox, brought to you by the Center for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPTS), a multidisciplinary center co-located at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Nemours A.I. duPont Hospital for Children. CPTS was created to address medical trauma in the lives of children and families.  

Our goals for Health Care Toolbox are to increase awareness of medical traumatic stress in children, provide information and evidence-based recommendations for health care providers, and guide parents and families to resources to help them cope with a child’s illness or injury.   

We also offer online education for health care providers! Check out our online courses on Pediatric Medical Traumatic Stress and Trauma-Informed Care. These courses are free and offer CE credit for nurses.
