Cover Story: Although trauma-informed care has been well researched in the development of institutional guidelines across healthcare and academic institutions, school settings, and workforces, there is no previously published research on the coverage of trauma-informed care across social media as a communication medium to inform actionable recommendations. This descriptive, observational, and retrospective study involved conducting a content analysis of trauma-informed care coverage across the social media platform YouTube. The findings uncovered from widely covered content yield implications and recommendations for strengthening health promotion, curriculum development, resilience across workforces, and safer and healthier communities. View this paper
