Trauma-Awareness, Sex, and Gender Skills for Trauma-Informed Practice

Trauma-informed practice is an approach to service delivery which recognizes that experiences of trauma and violence are common. An important aspect of practice is to understand how trauma can be experienced differently by different groups. Developing trauma-informed programs and policies requires service providers to be sex-informed and gender-informed and to consider how diverse experiences of trauma intersect with sex and gender, culture, and individual histories.
