Emergecy medical personnel may be the first to encounter a traumatized child and now they have another tool in their kits to provide the best care in the Highland Lakes area.
Two trauma-informed care trainings were provided by Phoenix Center for 26 Marble Falls Area Emergency Medical Service (MFAEMS) professionals to expand awareness of the impact of trauma childhood trauma and provide effective tools and strategies for interacting with children and families in emergency situations.
This community collaboration began after Kevin Naumann, president of the Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD) Board of Trustees and the operations director for Marble Falls Area EMS, attended an MFISD board meeting in November 2016 and heard about the numerous trauma-informed trainings Phoenix Center has provided for the school district.
