This powerpoint was used during my graduating presentation: "With 1 out of every 4 women experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault in their lifetime, with these crimes rising at a rate 4 times faster than other crimes, with the U.S. political environment rising to the effect of the infamous “War on Women,” we must ask ourselves at what point do we choose to stop being a bystander and actively engage in the traumatic events that are being perpetrated against the women we care about? Throughout this workshop, we will work to identify the ways in which women who have endured traumatic experience continue to endure oppression through judicial, social, and clinical reinforcements and how this stunts their healing."
Tom Teves, father of Alex Teves, who was murdered in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shootings, speaks about the impact of trauma on individuals and families at "Trauma Journalism: Training for Educators" Oct. 16, 2015. This conference at the Reynolds Journalism Institute focused on teaching journalism educators about how to prepare students for the impact of trauma on individuals — including themselves — and communities, how to build resilience through reporting, and provide hands-on help in creating units or standalone courses on trauma.

Transforming Media Messaging About Mental Illness Through News, Entertainment...Nedra Kline Weinreich

The literature on Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) over the past decade has expanded the concept of PTSD to include
symptoms reported from extensive studies on bullying in the workplace done in the UK
and Australia, ongoing research into Legal Abuse Syndrome, and the various conditions
treated by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Current thinking is converging on the
expanded concept of Complex PTSD. Complex PTSD refers to symptoms of PTSD that,
untreated, may last a lifetime resulting from prolonged, negative stress profoundly
affecting the quality of a person’s life. Van der Kolk’s research clearly demonstrates that
no one greets a traumatic event in a vacuum. Early childhood trauma causes
vulnerability toward succumbing to critical events by developing PTSD. It is important
to note that all people experiencing the same event do not become equally symptomatic.
This means any life altering, negative, prolonged stress can and does create hormonal,
emotional, mental, and physical symptoms. This includes stress from litigation. (Van der
Kolk, 2004 Kinchin, 2001 Huffer, 1995 Baker, 2005)
MSUM's 2nd Annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes® - Rape & Abuse SignsMSUM Dragon Athletics

Confidentiality concerns Stigma associated with mental illness and seeking professional help Possibility of job reassignment and/or loss of firearm privileges Some departments require reporting of all prescription medications (i.e. Antidepressants) thereby “letting the cat out of the bag” “Officers help people, they don’t need help themselves” Barriers to Seeking Help
20. Comfort factor Trust Proximity Share same experiences, know what it is like to work there. Understand that sometimes all a person needs to do is vent in a safe environment and have their feelings normalized before the problem gets too large for them to handle. Peer supporters
21. Early intervention – get to officers when the incident is fresh in their mind. Allows participants to talk about thoughts, emotions and physical symptoms that they have been experiencing since the critical incident in a safe and confidential environment. Allows groups to “fill in the blanks” and have a more comprehensive view of the incident. Provides reassurance that what they are experiencing are “normal reactions to an abnormal event” Team members assess the need for follow up and provide participants with information about typical stress reactions.
