Over the past 50 years, advancements in trauma care have significantly reduced mortality and morbidity. However, long-term outcomes for trauma patients remain suboptimal, with emotional responses playing a crucial role. Research indicates that improving post-trauma outcomes involves addressing emotional challenges and providing peer support.
In 2008, the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) by the American Trauma Society was established to connect survivors, enhance skills, and build a supportive community. TSN focuses on connecting, educating, and empowering trauma survivors and their families, offering resources and advocacy for improved recovery.
Our Mission:
The Trauma Survivors Network (TSN), created by the American Trauma Society, aims to support trauma patients and their families in navigating hospital stays and facilitating recovery. TSN offers practical information, peer support, and skill-building resources. Collaborating with trauma centers, TSN fosters online communities and provides training for healthcare providers. Research shows that TSN implementation positively impacts post-trauma outcomes and aids in supporting those grieving the loss of a loved one.
