Event Description
In 2008, the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) was developed by the American Trauma Society (ATS) to help trauma centers provide the support and services patients and their families need during their recovery from serious injury. The program works to:
-
Bring together trauma survivors and families to connect with one another and share support and information about the recovery process
-
Establish a network of state-of-the-art, hospital-based peer support programs and other resources for trauma survivors and their families
-
Train health care providers to deliver the best care and support to patients and their families and friends
-
Build a community of advocates dedicated to improving prevention efforts, trauma outcomes and trauma system
