Annie Deming PhD, Intermountain Health Pediatric Psychology Director
I have 20 years of clinical experience, and I have been licensed as a psychologist since 2010. Utah became my home after being matched for a psychology internship at Primary Children's Center for Safe and Healthy Families. I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at Huntsman Mental Health Institute (previously University of Utah's Neuropsychiatric Institute). My job at Primary Children's Wasatch Canyons Behavioral Health Campus began in 2010, and I became the Clinical Director of the Pediatric Behavioral Health service line in 2022. I value multidisciplinary collaboration, and I helped our outpatient clinic transition to a team-based approach to evidence-based care in 2021.

Topic: Being Trauma Informed
Trauma is universal, common, crosses demographics, and has identifiable impacts on development. Being trauma-informed is a broad term, but this presentation gives accurate statistics and information about trauma prevalence and the effects of trauma on the brain and on behavior. Learning about the links between trauma and behavior can help parents, teachers, and clinicians better understand behaviors and have more effective responses.
