Trauma-Informed Care for Survivors of Domestic Violence

Trauma-specific treatments for experiences such as domestic violence are often conflated with trauma-informed care, though they are distinct. Trauma-informed care is not a specific service, treatment model, or protocol; rather, it is an overarching approach to understanding and supporting others. Lauren Garder developed this training to help professionals understand how trauma and adversity shape how we think, communicate, and engage with survivors.
