SHIFTing the Trajectory: What is a Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program?
Parents and caregivers know to bring their children to the hospital to address physical wounds associated with acts of violence. What can they do, however, to address the mental and emotional strain that follows? In the spring of 2022, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital launched Supporting & Healing Individuals from Trauma (SHIFT), a hospital-based violence intervention program (HVIP) that aims to assist Le Bonheur patients and families who have been impacted by violence. By collaborating with the patients’ care team to identify specific needs, SHIFT coordinates wrap-around services to help ensure the best possible outcomes, both in and out of the hospital. Because trauma can have wide-reaching effects on every aspect of a patient’s home life, SHIFT can help connect families with mental health resources, mentoring, and youth development, as well as school and court advocacy.

New parents are often told once you have kids, you’ll never sleep again. Your sleep may never be the same but sleep is crucial to overall health, especially for children. Lack of sleep can hinder your child’s mental and physical development and give rise to negative emotions.
With the development of over the counter sleep aids, more caregivers are turning to supplements to help their child get a better night’s sleep. Sleep Technologist Tuesday Glenn with Le Bonheur’s Sleep Center is here to discuss the importance of sleep and safe and effective ways to help make sure your child is getting enough of it.
Music as Medicine
Music… it can lift moods, decrease anxiety and even be used as an effective form of treatment. Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music by a credentialed music therapist. Combining expertise in psychology, counseling, medicine and music, music therapists can help improve patient’s quality of life by promoting development and creating peaceful distractions during procedures. Music activates multiple areas of the brain, and its therapeutic use can positively impact hormone release and pain perception, helping patients cope and adapt.
Le Bonheur’s Music Therapist Courtney Rosewall, MT-BC, is here to tell us more about how music therapy is having a positive impact on patients and their treatment.
