E N D
Goals of P4G • Raise community awareness by presenting a common vocabulary for trauma and trauma responsive service provision • Use data to inform action • Change expectations of programs and service provision, embedding trauma responsiveness in our community agencies, institutions, programs, and policies
Resilience • Resilience is afforded by meeting each person’s Mazlow’s hierarchy of needs • These are: Physiologic needs, safety needs, belonging needs, self- esteem needs • Anyone in a caregiving role without these needs met for themselves will need support from agencies, institutions, and programs to provide these needs for others • We think of trauma as failure to meet Mazlow’s hierarchy of needs

The University of Florida launched the Mobile Outreach Clinic in January of 2010 Stops 6 at-risk neighborhoods around Alachua County
Client Satisfaction Survey Questions • From Pathways to Resilience “Experience of Service” measure, developed by Dr. Michael Ungar, School of Social Work, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada • “Think of a service you offer children, youth, families, and answer these questions from the perspective of your clients…” • Use a Likert scale
The questions get harder as they get more trauma responsive… • I had a say in how this service was delivered to me • I could get the service when I needed it • The location of the service was convenient • Staff respected my religious and spiritual beliefs
Staff spoke in a way that I understood • Staff were sensitive to my cultural and ethnic background • I am now better able to cope when things go wrong • There was a service I needed but I could not get
Trauma responsive prostate cancer screening: Lessons learned from women
