Presentation transcript:

TAKING ACTION Supporting those who have experienced trauma Rob Pineau White Rock RCMP Victim Services Coordinator

Who can be Traumatized Any individual, anytime, anywhere Families, friends, colleagues Witnesses Communities where individual(s) impacted Cultures Service Providers/Caregivers

Trauma and Victims of Crime Single Event – may experience a single traumatic event Compounding/Chronic Events – Event adds to past trauma, i.e. family violence, historical abuse, grief, or major life or work changes Impact of trauma - will depend on factors such as duration/frequency, relation to person causing trauma, age

Aftermath of Traumatic Event Physical Reactions  Fight/Flight/Freeze response  Sleeping/eating disruptions  Cognitive Reactions  Confusion, tunnel vision, brain ‘fog’  Intrusive thoughts/images  Emotional Reactions  Guilt, anxiety, denial, anger….  Grief, sorrow, frustration, shame….

What Can You Do? Assist the person by focusing on: 1. Respect and trust 2. Promote safety – physical and emotional 3. Strengths based perspective 4. Empathy and being non-judgemental 5. Validate difficult emotions Remember, what happened to them was bad, they are not a bad person

What Can You Do? 6. Guide them to relevant information 7. Report or seek assistance from service providers 8. Sense of control in their lives 9. Self-care and return to ‘routines’ 10. Be with them, rather than “do” for/to them Encourage professional support where trauma reactions interfere with ability to cope effectively in daily living
