What does it mean to be trauma-informed? - New York

Chris Engel 4/11/134:00 PM

"Why do some women stay in their homes with abusive spouses or partners when shelters and services exist to help these women create better lives?...

"What she and her staff learned was that processes in place for women seeking help to escape abusive situations often re-traumatize the woman in ways we wouldn’t think of....

"Revisiting how we do our jobs so that the people we serve are placed first, rather than our comfort and our sacred processes (it’s always been done this way) is valuable in many fields. But never more valuable that in a field where the safety of women and children is at risk."
