Description
Caley Mikesell and co-authors describe a pilot in 2025 of a tiered mental health model for children that is built to be trauma aware. Childhood hardship and trauma are common roots of mental health trouble. Their model sorts care into levels, so mild needs are met in primary care and deeper needs move up to specialists.
The team works at a large academic medical center, in its child clinics for both levels of care. They merged three record sets for the year from July 2023 to June 2024. Plain analyses of the merged data show who was served and how care flowed. The paper sets out the ideas behind the model, the local setting that shaped it, and what the pilot showed. A tiered model that screens for trauma could catch needs earlier in places families already visit.
