Trauma‐informed interactions within a trauma‐informed homeless service provider
This study aims to provide practical insights for developing trauma-informed interaction strategies between service providers and participants in homeless service organizations (HSOs). Twelve providers and 17 participants were interviewed for a qualitative study on trauma-informed care (TIC) within an HSO. Thematic analysis revealed six themes regarding provider approaches to TIC interactions with participants: provide a sounding board, promote s…
A Qualitative Examination of Collaborative Infrastructure within Sexual Assault Response Teams
Sexual assault response teams (SARTs) are multidisciplinary interventions that seek to improve the response to sexual assault in their community. SARTs bring together relevant stakeholders (e.g., sexual assault advocates, medical/forensic examiners, police, prosecutors) to coordinate the response to sexual assault and improve survivors’ help‐seeking experiences. SARTs may adopt various infrastructures to guide their team (e.g., case review, subco…
Housing Options for Individuals Experiencing Chronic Homelessness
Research on housing interventions for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness has largely focused on permanent supportive housing (PSH); however, an array of housing options to support the diverse needs and goals of chronically homeless people is necessary. A dearth of research exists on the non-subsidized private rental market as an option for people who are chronically homeless. The objective of this observational study was to identify so…
Predictors of employment outcomes in a comprehensive service program for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness
135). Logistic regression analyses for the 2 outcomes were conducted. Predictors included demographics and health indicators collected via self-report during program intake. Participants who were younger and racial/ethnic minorities were more likely to seek referrals than those who were older and White/European American. Individuals who were unemployed due to disability were less likely to seek referrals than those who were unemployed but seeking…
Trauma‐Informed Care for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness
Individuals with serious mental illness are at particularly high risk for trauma; however, service environments with which they interact may not always be trauma‐informed. While community mental health and other human services settings are moving toward trauma‐informed care ( TIC ) service delivery, a variety of TIC frameworks exist without consensus regarding operationalization, thereby leading to challenges in implementation. TIC is principle‐d…
Applying a Time‐Patterned Typology of Homelessness Among Individuals with Mental Illness
Identification of subgroups of the homeless populations, or typologies, has been an important research priority to guide homelessness services and policies. This study builds on previous typological research conducted in the general homeless population by focusing on individuals with mental illness to further delineate typologies within a more homogenous subset of the homeless population. A time‐patterned typology based on episodes of street and …
Waiting for shelter
Research on homeless shelter implementation is limited. Some shelters have lengthy waitlists, which raises important questions about implications of waitlists for individuals with immediate shelter needs. This study used qualitative methods to understand the experiences of shelter seekers who were on a shelter waitlist (N = 59), including individuals who entered the shelter from the waitlist, and those removed from the shelter waitlist for proced…
Caring for people with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis
Experiences of parents who care for sons or daughters with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis are rarely discussed within the literature. Narratives of parent-carers in Lost Voices from a Hidden Illness were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. This study aimed to give voices to those who care for individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis and are often stigmatized and inform future research supporting parent-carers. Results inc…
