Strategy Meeting: Trauma-Informed Primary Care for U.S. Women Living with HIV

On August 22 and 23, 2013, WHP convened a strategy meeting including 23 of the nation’s leading experts on trauma from academia, government, and advocacy organizations to strategize about implementing a new system of trauma informed primary care for US women living with HIV.

The goals of the meeting were to:

1. Identify the core components of trauma-informed primary care for women living with HIV;
2. Clarify the types of evidence-based tools and interventions to realize these core components;
3. Explore research, advocacy, funding and communications strategies to facilitate the operationalization of trauma-informed primary care for HIV-positive women in the U.S.

The meeting was very successful with three forthcoming publications in a prominent national journal describing steps forward to implement this new model of care.
