Background
The Henry Ford Health Trauma Recovery Center was created in March of 2022 by an interdisciplinary team that includes representatives from trauma surgery, orthopaedic surgery, behavioral health, emergency medicine, pediatrics and the Office of Community Health, Equity, Wellness & Diversity. With the understanding that survivors of crime are faced with unique challenges on their road to recovery, the TRC is working to ease the burden for survivors and their families and facilitate holistic healing, regardless of financial status. Following the Trauma Recovery Center model created by the University of California- San Francisco, the TRC will be able to provide wrap around services including clinical case management and trauma-informed and evidence-based behavioral health services.
You do not need insurance to participate and there are no out of pocket costs associated with these services.
