Welcome to the Trauma Survivors Network, a program of the American Trauma Society (ATS). For over five decades, the care of trauma patients has seen remarkable advancements, leading to significant reductions in trauma-related mortality and morbidity. However, long-term outcomes for many trauma patients remain suboptimal.

Research has shown that poor outcomes are not solely attributed to physical injuries; they are also connected to the emotional responses and lack of support available to patients and families. In 2008, the Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) was established to address these challenges. The TSN works with trauma centers to provide vital support and services to patients and their families during the recovery process.

Our unique program brings together trauma survivors and families, offering a platform to connect, share support, and gain valuable information. We enhance survivor skills and self-efficacy, empowering them to manage day-to-day challenges effectively. Through the TSN, trauma survivors have access to state-of-the-art, hospital-based peer support programs and resources.

Additionally, we provide comprehensive training for healthcare providers to ensure the best care and support for patients and their families. By uniting a community of advocates, we strive to improve prevention efforts, trauma outcomes, and trauma systems. Visit the links above to learn how the Trauma Survivors Network is connecting and empowering thousands of patients across the country, providing them with the necessary tools and resources for recovery.

The Trauma Survivors Network is proud to be a program of the American Trauma Society
