Trauma-Informed Care Best Practices for Nevada’s Domestic Violence Programs

The toolkit is broken into four parts:

Part I describes trauma and its impact. This part of the toolkit provides a definition of trauma from three perspectives, the relationship between trauma and domestic violence, the compounding nature of trauma, common reactions in traumatic situations, understanding trauma responses as adaptations, the impact of trauma, and an explanation of trauma triggers.

Part II provides an overview of trauma-informed care, including foundational principles of trauma-informed care and creating trauma-informed services.

Part III provides information about trauma-informed advocacy. This part of the toolkit includes best practices, policies and procedures, an advocacy checklist, and information about vicarious trauma.

Part IV provides suggested resources for further reading.
