We are here to help

No one can prepare you for a traumatic injury. It truly is a life-altering event, for you and your entire family. Your world may seem as if it has been turned upside down. You may feel confused, frightened, angry, helpless, and mostly lost.

Although each person’s journey is different, you don’t have to do this alone. The doctors, nurses and staff at Vanderbilt Trauma know how difficult a time this is for you. And they know that healing will require more than medical attention. It will require the support of family, friends, loved ones and a community of people who know what you’re going through, because they’ve been there, too.

The Trauma Survivors Network provides a host of free resources to help you cope with the life-altering experience from a trauma. The TSN is also a network of former trauma patients and their families who have been exactly where you are today. Having lived through a traumatic injury, they can help walk you through this difficult time, providing answers, guidance and hope.
