Healthcare is one of the highest expenses most people will incur during their lifetimes. The high cost of healthcare has driven many to worry about how they can afford to pay for it, causing some to ignore their mental and physical health problems.

This article will define a trauma healthcare team and how forming one can aid in your healing from complex trauma.

A Reflection on What Constitutes a Trauma Team

Treatment teams are made of various types of people in a multitude of disciplines, such as medical and mental health personnel, who form a treatment team to aid in your healing. A treatment plan is a document that outlines the proposed plan, goals, and length you will spend in the trauma team’s care. The treatment plan directs your treatment team’s steps for you to be successful in healing.

Your trauma treatment team may include:

· Psychologists

· Psychiatrists

· Mental health nurses

· Social workers

· Peer workers

· Occupational therapists
