Relationships between psychological trauma, resilience, and professional quality of life in personnel of an HIV Service Organization in the Southeast United States
INTRODUCTION: High rates of burnout have been observed among HIV care personnel, which has been connected to reductions in professional quality of life and patient care quality. However, limited literature explores how personnel mental wellbeing might influence professional quality of life, including burnout. METHODS: We assess the relationship between trauma and adversity, psychological resilience, and Professional Quality of Life (PQoL), includ…
Demystifying Traumatic Experiences and Complex Effects in People with HIV and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Tennessee
Background: Compared with the general public, people with HIV (PWH) experience more psychological trauma and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet limited research explores how PWH may uniquely experience trauma. The primary goal of this study was to investigate trauma exposure typologies and sequelae among PWH to inform trauma screening and interventions. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a convenience samp…
Development of the organizational trauma resilience–patient reported experience measure for people with HIV in the Southern United States
Initial development of the Organizational Trauma Resilience-Patient Reported Experience Measure marks several novel contributions to the trauma-informed care knowledge base and is a first step toward measuring the extent to which people with HIV perceive their care environments to be safe, stable, and nurturing.

Piloting Safety and Stabilization
Triggers or Prompts? When Methods Resurface Unsafe Memories and the Value of Trauma-Informed Photovoice Research Practices
In this article, we describe a case study in which the method and approach to understanding internalizations of stigma may have both triggered and prompted suppressed memories and past trauma to reemerge. Drawing from trauma informed care approaches, we outline strategies to bear in mind for future studies
The organizational trauma resilience assessment
We believe this instrument marks the first of its kind to synthesize tenets of organizational resilience with TIC principles. Creation of the OTRA progresses the TIC knowledge base and is a cost-effective and valid method for evaluating organizational culture of trauma resilience.

Correlates of Safety Strategy Use Among South African Women Living With HIV and at Risk of Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV are correlated and endemic in South Africa. However, safety strategy use to prevent IPV among HIV-positive women is understudied. This study assesses correlates of specific safety strategy use among 166 Black South African women recently experiencing IPV and testing positive for HIV. Associations were observed between consultation with formal (i.e., counselors, clergy, IPV specialists) and informal networks…
Towards Transformational Research for and with Indigenous Communities
This article documents the development of the newly launched Indigenous Child Welfare Research Network in British Columbia. This Network is a provincial association of researchers, service providers, community members and policy makers with an interest in using Indigenous research in the transformation of child and family services. Rooted in a vision for healing and the inclusion of diverse voices, Network Initiatives seek to reclaim Indigenous w…
Mitigating intimate partner violence among South African women testing HIV positive during mobile counseling and testing
South African women continue to suffer disproportionately from the interlinked epidemics of HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV). Effective strategies are needed to mitigate HIV-related IPV, which often creates barriers to successful engagement along the HIV continuum of care. More information is needed on how IPV impacts women's safety following mobile HCT diagnosis, and the HIV IPV Risk Assessment & Safety-planning (HIRS) protocol was develo…

Using a call center to encourage linkage to care following mobile HIV counseling and testing
Engaging newly diagnosed HIV+ individuals in treatment is a significant global challenge. As South Africa expands HIV counseling and testing (HCT) services, the growing numbers of people diagnosed with HIV will need innovative links to care approaches in order for treatment to be most effective. While definitions vary, we have defined "linkage to care" as connecting an HIV+ individual to medical care, so that CD4 cell test results are obtained an…
Never Innocent Victims
Over the past decade, street sex workers and their families garnered considerable media attention through extensive coverage of disappeared and murdered women in Western Canada. The research presented here examines whether recent media accounts differ from past coverage given that families and friends of disappeared and unaccounted for women inserted themselves into media discussions and circulated alternative readings of their stories. We found …

Nothing Short of a Horror Show”
Over the past decade, Canadian media coverage of street sex work has steadily increased. The majority of this interest pertains to graphic violence against street sex workers, most notably from Vancouver, British Columbia. In this article, the authors analyze newspaper coverage that appeared in western Canadian publications between 2006 and 2009. In theorizing the violence both depicted and perpetrated by newspapers, the authors propose an analyt…
Manufacturing ghost fathers
Fathers exist in the lives of women and children involved with child welfare authorities, and yet, they are rarely seen by child welfare. This invisibility exists whether or not fathers are deemed as risks or as assets to their families. Using an analysis of fundamental child welfare policies and practices and relevant literature, the paper examines how ‘ghost’ fathers are manufactured, and how this phenomenon affects families and professionals i…
Working with Me, Working at Me
This article examines the experiences of fathers involved in the child welfare system. Fathers who were interviewed as part of a multiyear Canadian project were atypical in that they were actively engaged with the child welfare system. Their stories show how, although not always physically present, child welfare's ghostly form is still very much a part of the daily lives of fathers and their families. These fathers had to be resourceful and resil…
The Dark Tree
Upbuilding Black Durham
This book describes how diversity and dissent strengthened the black community.In the 1910s, both W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington praised the black community in Durham, North Carolina, for its exceptional race progress. Migration, urbanization, and industrialization had turned black Durham from a post - Civil War liberation community into the capital of the black middle class. African Americans owned and operated mills, factories, churc…

Self-Esteem and Achievement of Black and White Adolescents
This study measures the self-esteem and academic achievement of 798 black and white adolescents as they move from sixth to seventh grade in a large Midwestern city. Our findings, in many instances, do not fit widespread preconceptions, but support other recent, large-scale quantitative studies. The basic findings involving selfesteem are as follows: (1) black children appear to have higher, rather than lower, self-esteem than whites; (2) girls of…
