Trauma is not the total of any person or community.
People and communities that have suffered trauma and systemic oppression resist this daily with many and varied strengths and resiliencies. The power of TVIC and intersectional interventions is understanding people as a whole, not as only one-dimensional.
Trauma-and Violence-Informed Care (TVIC) not only recognises the impact of individual trauma but also seeks to understand and address the broader social and structural conditions that contribute to ongoing harm. TVIC links interpersonal violence with the wider context of people’s lives, acknowledging how various forms of structural violence such as poverty, racism, discrimination and social exclusion intersect and compound personal experiences of trauma.
With people using violence to their intimate partners – TVIC is new and developing framework for practice. Holding a TVIC framework can be humanising and create a platform for accountability and reparation. Working with people using violence to acknowledge how their past trauma impacts their present ways of being ensures that they are treated with dignity which is foundational work for responsibility and accountability conversations.
With victims/survivors – TVIC encourages practitioners to think, assess and respond beyond individual support and extend practice possibilities to incorporate a system advocacy in responding to the context of entrapments in the lives of victims/survivors. TVIC provides opportunity to engage with people’s trauma and acknowledge it has an impact on their current responses and choices. Building safety begins with victims/survivors’ wishes and needs, and their priorities, which includes decisions that they make and the direction they see for their life.
