In this episode, the girl and her gyno-mom meet up with Dr. Traci Kurtzer.

Dr. Kurtzer is an amazing physician and community advocate. She works at Northwestern in the Center of Sexual Medicine and Menopause and is the Medical Director of Trauma Informed Care and Education at Northwestern.

She joins the ladies to discuss a very important topic: Trauma Informed Care.

They cover what trauma entails in this context, the four R's of Trauma Informed Care, simple steps that physician offices can make to ensure patients feel safe and comfortable in their care journey, ways that patients can advocate for themselves within the doctor's office and much, much more.

The episode also includes an interview with Saunte Harden-Tate, the Community Engagement Coordinator at CAASE (Chicago Alliance Against Ending Sexual Exploitation), detailing what the works they do involves and why it is so important for the Chicagoland community.
