Medical Schools Must Improve Trauma-Informed Care Education
Last fall, I arrived at the hospital for a routine checkup. The provider I would be seeing was a new trainee, and they entered the room timidly as they verified my name and date of birth. We carried on a conversation about medical school, the rhythmic movements of their stethoscope during my exam proceeding without incident until they said, “Listening to the heart is easier for me with skin contact.” They quickly slipped their hand deeply down my…
Restorative Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence Experienced in Adulthood
Sexual violence (SV) is a widespread human rights issue. Survivors of SV often experience profound dehumanization and poor health outcomes when their trauma is not properly addressed, rendering it critical that they are honored and empowered within subsequent processes of healing and seeking justice. With adjudication through the criminal legal system largely underutilized due to retraumatization, scrutiny from law enforcement professionals, and …
Synthesizing the Evidence
Trauma-exposed persons often experience difficulties accessing medical care, remaining engaged in treatment plans, and feeling psychologically safe when receiving care. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an established framework for health care professionals, but TIC education for clinicians has not been well examined. To remedy this, the authors conducted a multidisciplinary, scoping literature review to discern best practices for design, implementat…
Trauma Recovery Rubric
Research is beginning to examine gender-based violence (GBV) survivors' recovery, but little is known about diverse recovery trajectories or their relationships with other distress and recovery variables. This interdisciplinary, international multisite mixed-method study developed and used the TRR to identify and classify survivors' trauma pathways. This study describes the phases of the initial development of the preliminary TRR (Phase 1), refin…
Mitigating trafficking of migrants and children through disaster risk reduction
Thailand's flood of 2011 was devastating for the communities and inhabitants of the country, affecting approximately 13 million people and causing damages totaling THB 1.43 trillion (46.5 billion USD). The presence of a natural hazards disaster such as this can magnify individuals' vulnerability to human trafficking, or mitigate it depending on the disaster risk reduction practices of the surrounding community. The Sendai Framework is the United …
Pushing for the same thing on the same set of tracks
In mitigating these barriers and increasing survivor autonomy, anti-trafficking interventions have the opportunity to create individualized environments for those with an experience of trafficking to thrive. Ultimately, elevating community accountability, honoring individual autonomy, and recognizing the value of the persons with a lived experience of trafficking are critical as we continue to use a public health lens in the fight against human t…
Healing is not linear
The purpose of this study was to describe the day‐to‐day healing processes of women who experienced undergraduate sexual violence. We engaged 19 women in a photo‐elicitation experience with follow‐up individual interviews to identify themes of both healing and darker moments in survivors' everyday lives. Healing was found to function on a continuum influenced by darker moments (i.e., moments that elicited fear, anxiety, loneliness, guilt, anger, …
