Why  Trauma  Informed  Approaches  

Vic9m  /  Survivor  “Ac9vism  and  Outrage”  

•  Perceived  or  actual  failed  first  impression  of  campus  /  police  response  (First  Impression  MaPers)  

•  I  wasn’t  believed…  •  I  wasn’t  supported…  •  Vic9m  blaming  aStudes,  beliefs,  comments  

•  Lack  of  culturally  competent  response  for  all  vic9ms  

•  Lack  of  training  to  support  vic9ms  /  survivors  

Understanding  Trauma  and  Impact  

•  Research:  Neurobiology  of  Trauma    

•  Dr.  David  Lisak  •  Dr.  Rebecca  Campbell  

•  Trauma  Informed  Vic9m  Interview  and  (FETI)  

•  Forensic  Experien9al  Trauma  Interview  (FETI)  

•  Russell  Strand,  Chief,  U.S.  Army  M.P.  School  

 

 

Understanding  Trauma  and  Impact  

•  Understanding  Trauma  

•  Trauma  physically  changes  our  brain:  hormones  /  chemicals  are  released  influencing  percep9on,  reac9on,  and  memory  

•  Trauma9c  memory  is  stored  in  the  brain  differently    

•  We  don’t  control  how  the  brain  and  body  responds  to  trauma  

 

Understanding  Trauma  and  Impact  

•  Impact  of  Trauma  on  the  Vic9m  

•  Counterintui9ve  behavior:  (“Would  of,  should  of,  could  of…)  

•  Memory  is  fragmented,  can’t  provide  a  chronological  narra9ve  

•  Impacts  of  trauma  are  o\en  misinterpreted  

•  No  jus9ce…  

Trauma  Informed  Approaches      

•  Understanding  Trauma  and  suppor9ng  vic9ms  can  assist  in  healing  /  Trauma  can  be  life  long  for  some  

•  Delayed  repor9ng,  inability  to  recall  details  and  sequence  of  events  is  common  as  a  result  of  trauma  

•  Disclosure  is  a  process,  not  an  event  (permission  to  recall  addi9onal  details  over  9me)  

Trauma  Informed  Approaches      

•  What  are  you  able  to  tell  me  about  your  experience?  

•  Using  the  five  senses  to  help  retrieve  trauma9c  memory  that  is  stored  in  the  brain  differently  

•  Capturing  the  vic9ms  experience  and  the  sensory  and  peripheral  details  can  be  compelling  evidence

Trauma  Informed  Reflec9ons:  

•  Who  will  be  the  first  impression  of  your  ins9tu9on?      •  Do  they  know  what  to  say  –  what  not  to  say?  •  Trauma  Informed  Training:  trauma  and  its  impact  

•  Title  IX  Inves9gators  and  Adjudicators  •  Campus  Police  /  Local  Police  

•  Does  everyone  know  their  individual  responsibili9es  and  the  ins9tu9onal  responsibili9es?  

•  These  cases  are  high  stakes  for  all  involved…  Trauma  informed  approach,  fair  and  balanced,  let  the  facts  determine  if  there  is  a  viola9on.
