What is the social or environmental issue being addressed?
The social problem WellMiss aims to solve is the profound impact of unaddressed trauma on women's health and well-being. Many women experience trauma, leading to preventable illnesses and disparities in healthcare access and outcomes, especially among underserved communities. Traditional healthcare often overlooks the comprehensive impact of trauma, failing to provide holistic care for mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, trauma acts as a critical social determinant of health, influencing broader social and environmental factors. WellMiss focuses on providing accessible, integrative, and culturally competent care to address these issues, aiming to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities.
Innovation:
WellMiss innovatively addresses the often-neglected intersection of trauma and women's health through a specialized, integrative care model. Our approach combines medical and holistic therapies, including services from integrative doctors, naturopathic educators, licensed dietitians, mental health professionals, and yoga therapists. We focus on comprehensive trauma-informed care that treats the whole person, supported by clinicians deeply trained in trauma, grief, and culturally competent care. Additionally, we nurture a supportive online peer community and facilitate connections to essential resources. Using our digital platform, WellMiss extends transformative care solutions nationwide, enhancing health outcomes and redefining trauma care standards.
