Question

Prior to becoming homeless, many individuals have childhood histories of trauma, particularly physical and sexual abuse. Other traumas happen after becoming homeless-for example, physical assault, robbery, and rape. Due to the high prevalence of exposure to trauma and high rates of trauma symptoms, services provided to persons who are homeless should be based on the principles of trauma-informed care. A trauma-informed approach acknowledges the widespread prevalence and impact of trauma in society; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in all individuals involved with the program, including its own workforce; integrates knowledge of trauma into policies and practices; and actively prevents re-traumatization (SAMHSA, 2018b).
