Broken bones, broken minds, and broken hearts: Psychotrauma resources for pediatric non-accidental trauma survivors – Editorial

• The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) assessment is not meant for an acute trauma and is administered to assess PTSD symptoms experienced over the past month. This screening tool is indicated for children ages 7 or above, which spans a wider age range than does the PHQ-9. • It is difficult to say how widely available psycho-trauma resources are in the acute care setting at PTCs. However, the literature demonstrates the importance of immediate, adequate psychologic care for pediatric trauma cases. • We hope that trauma centers moving forward, stop only healing the broken bones and start healing the broken bones, the broken minds, and comforting the broken hearts.
