The Whole Health Louisiana (WHL) State Plan is Louisiana’s first statewide plan to systematically address the widespread issue of childhood adversity and trauma through the integration of trauma-informed and healing-centered approaches in our state’s systems of care and support for children and families. Addressing this issue is critical to the well-being and fulfillment of our state’s children, families, and communities.

The Bureau of Family Health (BFH) is committed to strengthening and developing our Mortality Surveillance Program which includes Child Death Review (CDR), Domestic Abuse Fatality Review (DAFR), and Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review (PAMR).

Each of these groups works to assess emerging health concerns, identify opportunities for improvement, and recommend strategies to make Louisiana a healthier place to live, learn, grow, and work.
