13. 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

14. Understanding
Trauma
and
Impact
• Research:
Neurobiology
of
Trauma
• Dr.

• Forensic

• Russell
Strand,

School

15. 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

16. 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
oen
misinterpreted
• No
jus9ce…

17. 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)

18. 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

23. 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.
