Riverside Trauma Center

Compassionate & Effective Trauma Response Services

Extreme stress following a traumatic experience can be overwhelming and cause lasting psychological effects. Riverside Trauma Center offers support services, including on-site response, grief counseling, and referrals to help people after critical incidents. Examples of incidents for which we have provided response and crisis management include:

• Schools where students have died by suicide, homicide, disease, or accidental causes
• Communities affected by tornadoes, floods, or other natural disasters
• Violence in a school, workplace, or community
• Highly stressful events in a workplace (e.g., assault, arrest, reduction in workforce, etc.)

Riverside Trauma Center also coordinates the statewide Riverside-Massachusetts Trauma Response Network, which trains and partners with other organizations to develop locally-based response teams throughout the Commonwealth.
