Foreword / by John F. Crowley -- The reality of medical trauma -- Medical trauma 101 -- Who ware you? -- Strategies for preventing and reducing medical trauma -- Special populations -- Can parents develop medical trauma too? -- Wrapping up.

"The first book written for parents with the primary goal of equipping them with the knowledge and skills to support their children through medical challenges on a day-to-day basis, and specifically with medical trauma-experiences in healthcare that can profoundly affect a child's response and willingness to even go to the doctor"-- If your child has a medical challenge, experiences in healthcare can profoundly affect their response-- and even their willingness to go to the doctor in future. The challenge of medical trauma is often underrecognized and overlooked, leaving parents to manage it on their own. Marsac and Hogan share strategies to help prevent and reduce medical trauma, and otherwise support a child while facing medical interventions or a chronic condition. -- adapted from back cover
