Creating Trauma-Informed Services and Organizations: An Integrated Approach

Initially developed as a way to bridge trauma-informed and advocacy perspectives, this more integrated approach has evolved into a framework for holding many of the key elements that are critical to doing our work – work that is grounded in domestic and sexual violence advocacy perspectives, that incorporates an understanding of trauma and its effects, that creates accessible environments for healing, that recognizes the centrality of culture, and that is committed to social justice and human rights.
