STRESS/TRAUMA INFORMED COUNSELINGEach gender (identified) specific issue is addressed in a six-week course. The asset-based, trauma informed modules provide participants with assessment, diagnosis, events/cues, identifying triggers/cycles, interventions, and treatment plans for healthier, happier lives.
A trauma-informed approach to service provision is particularly effective for women experiencing homelessness, given their higher likelihood to have experienced violence. More than 53% of women surveyed in the DWC 2019 Los Angeles City Women’s Needs Assessment reported having survived domestic or interpersonal violence at some point during their lifetimes, experiences that are compounded by the trauma of homelessness. |
