This website helped me understand that it's normal to have emotional reactions to injuries. It shows what parents can do, and when to do more.

I learned what I can do during and after medical care, to help my child. Sometimes the one page care sheet from the doctor is not enough.
As a police officer and paramedic, we are frequently trained on the effects of trauma. As a parent, I am happy to see that this information is available to parents so that they can help their children.
I like how this site helps you deal with traumatic injury, and prepares you to help your child understand the emotions they are going through.
The Quick Quiz and Care Plan are great tools to work on together with your child. It helps to get the conversation started.
The information on this site is invaluable, but not overwhelming. I am now more aware of what my child's reactions to her injury might be.
Before exploring this site, I had never really thought about the emotional side of healing. I now see it is an important part of the process.
After The Injury gave me clear, concrete ideas to help my child. The Care Plan section was wonderful and helpful.
I really liked the "How to Talk with Your Child" video. It focused on being able to communicate with your child to know what's going on and how they feel.
