Aim 1: Explore the acceptability of trauma-informed care plans, the appropriateness of trauma-informed care plans, and the feasibility of Trauma-Informed Care Plans(TICP) when used by clinicians on the health care team (HCTC). Hypothesis 1: HCTC using the TICP will report its acceptability, feasibility, satisfaction and ease of use. Hypothesis 2: HCTC will report heightened awareness of intersection of trauma and social determinants of health. Hypothesis 3: HCTC will report more awareness of the patient's unique preferences and will be better informed regarding the unique plan of care for their patient.

Aim 2: Explore the impact of having a TICP by patients understanding how the TICP may have improved their experience around care and treatment. Hypothesis 1: patients will report: improved satisfaction with their care. Hypothesis 2: patients will report feeling better known by HCT. Hypothesis 3: will report less stress and anxiety related to health care encounters.
