Trauma-Informed Care. A key theme across the literature, including the Hemmings et al. (2016) review, is the need for a framework for providing care known as trauma-informed care. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, trauma-informed care: • Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; • recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; • responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and • seeks to actively resist re-traumatization (SAMHSA, 2017). SAMHSA (2017) specifies that a trauma-informed approach include six principles of: “trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; empowerment, voice and choice; [and] cultural, historical, and gender issues.” In a commentary by Xxxxxxx (2017), “care ethics approaches to trauma-informed care require a clinician’s attention to respond to the needs, wishes, goals, priorities, risks, and vulnerabilities of the patient and incorporate them into the care plan” (Xxxxxxx, 2017). Coupled with Xxxxxxx’ assertion, Xxxxx and Macy (2011) add that although “trauma-informed services were not specifically developed for use with survivors of sex trafficking, and have not been evaluated with this population, consensus exists in the literature that trauma-informed services have promising potential.” However, they emphasize: Providers designing trauma-informed services specific to sex trafficking survivors should ensure that they (a) give priority to survivor’s physical and emotional safety; (b) concurrently address co-occurring problems; (c) use an empowerment philosophy to guide service delivery; (d) maximize survivors’ choice and control of services; (e) emphasize survivors’ resilience; and (f) minimize the potential of the survivor experiencing additional trauma (Xxxxxxx et al., 2005; Xxxxxx & Fallot, 2001 as cited in Xxxxx & Macy, 2011). A trauma-informed approach strengthens care for survivors of trafficking by providing compassionate and intentional approaches to care, thus helping to avoid triggering fear, shame, or distress for patients (Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 2017). This approach can be integrated by the entire care team and practice staff—from front office to security—to ensure that the practice as a whole “prioritizes a safe environment for the clinical encounter, helping the patient to regain a sense of agency and autonomy d...
