“…Yet, while TIC is a growing topic in the general population literature and there remains a dearth of rigorous research investigating its effectiveness, preliminary evidence suggests potential gains. When compared with treatment‐as‐usual, TIC has been associated with better subjective physical health and lower prevalence of chronic illness among women in the general population who were diagnosed with co‐occurring disorders (Weissbecker & Clark, ). Within psychiatric care for children and adolescents, TIC has been associated with a marked reduction in use of restraints and seclusion (Azeem, Aujla, Rammerth, Binsfield, & Jones, ; Bloom et al., ); increased patient satisfaction, increased staff patience and consistency in approach, increased ability to de‐escalate crisis situations, decreased counter‐aggressive actions between clients and staff (Bloom et al., ); and increased staff awareness of the impact of their communication on safety as well as increased leadership among youth in treatment (Rivard et al., ).…”

Research exploring the occurrence of trauma among adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) has grown over the past decade. Yet there is a dearth of literature investigating the impact of organizational factors on the trauma experience despite this population's need for organizational supports. Trauma-informed care (TIC), a systems-focused model for service delivery, is a fast-developing interest among the broader field of trauma in the general population. It recognizes the prevalence and impact of trauma, and creates a culture of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. The author synthesized relevant literature from both the intellectual and developmental disabilities areas and integrated this with TIC and trauma literature drawn from the general population. Explored are the implications of organizations for service delivery and the potential assimilation of TIC within I/DD organizations. The effectiveness of TIC applications and their potential barriers are discussed and related to the philosophy of quality of life and organizational culture. The author notes that some individuals with I/DD comprise a vulnerable subgroup of the population that in large part relies upon the support of organizational services to foster quality of life. Given the implications of the focus on quality of life, he posits that TIC presents as a viable response for organizations, complimenting and augmenting current efforts.

“…Trauma‐informed organizations consider the fundamental physical and emotional safety of the environment and provide choices to the staff and persons receiving services while empowering them to become active participants in a collaborative relationship. Research has demonstrated benefits associated with utilizing a trauma‐informed approach, including: improved subjective health (Weissbecker & Clark ), decreased use of restraints and seclusion (Azeem et al . ), increased patient satisfaction and staff proficiency and competency (Bloom et al .…”

“…These EBTs include trauma‐focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF‐CBT; Cohen, Deblinger, Mannarino, & Steer, ; Deblinger, Mannarino, Cohen, & Steer, ), Seeking Safety (Najavits, ), prolonged exposure therapy (PE; Foa & Kozak, ), cognitive processing therapy (CPT; Monson et al., ), eye‐movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, ), and child‐parent psychotherapy (CPP; Lieberman, Ippen, & Van Horn, ; Lieberman, Van Horn, & Ippen, ). The efficacy of EBTs for trauma is well‐documented in other populations (Chorpita & Southam‐Gerow, ; Keane, Marshall, & Taft, ; Silverman et al., ), and research suggests that treatment is associated with improvements in both physical health and psychological health (Weissbecker & Clark, ). These findings suggest that Native communities could benefit from trauma interventions.…”

A Systematic Review of Trauma Interventions in Native Communities

American Indian/Alaska Native and First Nations communities suffer from health disparities associated with multiple forms of trauma exposure. Culturally appropriate interventions are needed to heal current and historical trauma wounds. Although there are evidence‐based trauma interventions for other populations, few have been implemented or evaluated with Native communities. Understanding the extant research on trauma interventions in Native communities is crucial for advancing science and filling gaps in the evidence base, and for meeting the needs of underserved people. In this systematic review of the literature on trauma interventions in Native communities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, we identified 15 studies representing 10 interventions for historical and/or current trauma. These studies involved the community to some extent in developing or culturally adapting the interventions and suggested positive outcomes with regard to historical and interpersonal trauma symptoms. However, notable limitations in study design and research methods limit both internal validity and external validity of these conclusions. Only one study attempted (but did not achieve) a quasi‐experimental design, and small sample sizes were persistent limitations across studies. Recommendations for researchers include working in partnership with Native communities to overcome barriers to trauma intervention research and to increase the rigor of the studies so that ongoing efforts to treat trauma can yield publishable data and communities can secure funding for intervention research.
