5 4 WHAT IS THE TRAUMA DIRECTORY USED FOR There are many different approaches, models, and curricula used by clinicians and therapists to treat trauma. This directory can help you find service(s) and agency(s) in Connecticut that are offering trauma treatment as well as the type or model of treatment. WHAT IS TRAUMA-INFORMED, GENDER-RESPONSIVE CARE? Psychological trauma refers to extreme stress that overwhelms an individual s ability to cope. This can be caused by experiences such as violence, hate crimes, sexual abuse, and other traumatic events. High rates of trauma are often linked with an increase of substance use, mental health problems, disease, violence, abuse, and suicide. -specific curricula often used by clinicians and therapists specifically treat trauma. Other curriculums may not directly treat trauma but still include trauma awareness. We call these trauma-informed models. For example, a substance abuse curriculum that discusses the impact of trauma on substance abuse would be traumainformed. models may use a combination of treatment strategies such as present-focused (coping skills, psychoeducational, symptoms management) or past-focused approaches (discussing the trauma story). For short term treatment, often presentfocused approaches are more appropriate while past-focused approaches may be best used with those at a more stable time in their recovery. Curriculums that address gender-differences among trauma are called genderresponsive. Research on women and trauma suggests that women are more than twice as likely to develop Post tic Stress Disorder (PTSD), more likely to experience sexual assault, and are more likely to be harmed by a partner or lover rather than an enemy or stranger ( 2013) (Kendall-Tackett, 2005). Many groups that address trauma are all male or all female because they have encountered physical or sexual abuse differently. Other gender differences that effect care can include stigma for mothers and women, child care, financial stability, and criminal backgrounds. IN CONNECTICUT Many agencies throughout Connecticut are providing trauma treatment groups or individualized treatment. In Connecticut, the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and The Connecticut s Consortium (CWC) chair the and Gender Practice Improvement Collaborative (TAG Initiative) and promote best practices in trauma-informed, gender-responsive care. In April of 2010, DMHAS adopted a formal Policy to foster a health care system that employs and practices principles that are trauma sensitive and trauma informed. To see the policy visit GUIDELINES FOR GROUPS groups should be gender-specific or all male or all female groups, even in models and curriculums that may not specify this such as. For those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning it might be best to offer a LGBTQ group or if this is not available allow these individuals to make a choice about which gendered group they would prefer. Because it is important to foster a dynamic of trust and collaboration in treatment groups, they are often best utilized as a closed group or a modified closed, in which new participants may only enter the program during specific sessions. It is important to host groups in a trauma-informed space. Areas that are not appropriate include public or open space. Only group members should have access during group. Lastly, we recommend that a trauma treatment, therapeutic, or psychoeducational group be no more than 8-12 people. If groups are not being offered in this way, let us know as the TAG Initiative has resources available for training.

6 The Connecticut s Consortium helps support the TAG Initiative through education and training. Many of the trauma models are available in their biannual training catalog. To learn more visit In addition, the TAG Initiative has other resources available. The TAG Agency Project is a two year project where agencies apply and are selected to receive technical assistance and training around trauma-informed, gender-responsive care. WHICH TRAUMA MODEL SHOULD I USE It is important when you are looking for services to know: Whether you are looking for treatment in a group or as an individual Whether you need treatment for trauma, trauma and mental health, trauma and substance use, or both (co-occurring) If the service or group you re seeking is designed for men, women, or is specific to the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex (LGBTQI) community o Some curricula were designed to be used with only men or women, for example o Curriculum may not be designed for one gender, for example, but group participants are often the same gender because men and women often experience and discuss trauma such as sexual abuse or violence in very different ways. The following grid was created to help compare services and is how we identify services later in this guide. Group Individual LGBTQI Other Men Co-ed* Men M- M- Healing Men Men BEST PRACTICES Promote sustainability of trauma groups by training multiple staff and clinicians in teams. Agencies that do not offer trauma services or clinical services either can list local agencies for referrals. Agencies that do not offer services are familiar with the basics of traumainformed care. If possible individuals are given the option of working with a male or female clinician, doctors, or staff as appropriate, for example, during substance use testing and supervised urines. Policies around genderresponsiveness and working with the LGBTQI community. For example, offering an LGBTQI group or creating a policy that speaks to client s choice when working with transgendered clients in groups. questions are included in assessments. *Co-ed groups are not recommended by the TAG Initiative.

8 TARGET by Julian Ford is a strengths-based approach to education and therapy for trauma survivors who are looking for a practical approach to recovery. The goal is to help trauma survivors to understand how trauma changes the body and brain's normal stress response and to learn a practical 7-step approach called FREEDOM (focus, recognize triggers, emotion self-check, evaluate thoughts, define goals, options, and make a contribution) to changing the PTSD alarm response into a positive approach to personal and relational empowerment that promotes real and lasting recovery from trauma. TARGET can be delivered in gender-specific or educational/support groups, individual or family basis.
