The Trauma Connection helps survivors of violence and psychological trauma by educating and consulting with the service providers they work with and the systems they navigate.
It’s all connected…
Understanding the connection between psychological trauma and how victims and survivors function in the world is essential to providing intentional, equitable, and healing services and care.
Equipping providers, healthcare workers, and organizations with the understanding, skills, and support required to effectively, efficiently, and compassionately treat their patients is essential to reducing the adverse consequences of this important work:
INDIVIDUAL
- Moral Injury
- Compassion Fatigue
- Secondary Traumatic Stress
- Burnout
INTERPERSONAL/ORGANIZATIONAL
- Turnover
- Bullying and Conflict
- Negative Culture
- Increased Costs
- Safety and Compliance
- Increased Healthcare Utilization
- Community Reputation
Survivors want providers to acknowledge the effort and courage it took to simply attend medical appointments; an understanding of power, control, and authority dynamics during procedures; and how sexual violence is relevant to treatment plans.
