Trauma-Informed: What It means for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
- Practitioners working in the fields of sexual and domestic violence found that the SAMHSA definition of “trauma-informed” was either a full or partial fit with their work and was enhanced by the inclusion of the guiding principles. However, they commonly noted that SAMHSA’s language did not reflect the language advocates use in working with survivors. In addition, SAMSHA’s language misses a primary focus on addressing the root causes of interpersonal violence, such as the impact of one’s gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, age and disability.
- Practitioners agreed that the phrase “trauma-informed” has been adopted by domestic violence and sexual assault service providers and advocates, but the understanding and application of the concepts are currently uneven and inconsistent.
- While many practitioners said that a trauma-informed approach is consistent with a longstanding commitment to advocacy and social justice, others believe the approach minimizes the reality of an unjust environment and survivors’ cultural background and may contribute to labeling and pathologizing survivors.
