To review the current research on trauma-informed child-serving systems. Research on this topic, although sparse, is critically important because most children who come into contact with systems, including the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, have experienced at least one traumatic event.
Very little research has actually been done on this topic area. Although it makes intuitive sense to integrate a trauma-informed approach into child-serving systems, much more research needs to be conducted in order to determine the efficacy of trauma-informed thinking in child-serving systems.
A number of research studies have been conducted that focus on adults with co-occurring disorders who have received trauma-informed treatment. These results suggest that a 'trauma-informed' approach is a helpful and effective way to implement services. These same principles may be applied to work with children in order to create a 'trauma-informed child-serving system'. Twelve literature-supported and research-supported components of such a system are introduced in this review, ranging from the importance of specialized knowledge about trauma to trauma assessment and the value of trauma-informed policy.
回顾创伤知情的儿童服务系统的现有研究。尽管这一主题的研究很少,但却至关重要,因为大多数与系统接触的儿童,包括儿童福利和少年司法系统,都至少经历过一次创伤事件。
实际上,在这个主题领域几乎没有进行过研究。尽管将创伤知情方法融入儿童服务系统是有意义的,但仍需要进行更多的研究,以确定创伤知情思维在儿童服务系统中的功效。
已经进行了一些研究,重点关注接受创伤知情治疗的共病成年人。这些结果表明,“创伤知情”方法是实施服务的一种有益且有效的方式。这些相同的原则也可以应用于与儿童的合作,以创建“创伤知情的儿童服务系统”。本文介绍了该系统的 12 个具有文献支持和研究支持的组成部分,从专门的创伤知识的重要性到创伤评估以及创伤知情政策的价值。
