Abstract: Organizations that provide victim services are increasingly using trauma informed services and interventions. OVW seeks to understand which grantees are engaged in the provision of trauma informed services and interventions, how trauma informed services and interventions are being implemented, and identify best practices. In order to better support current and future grantees who provide comprehensive, holistic services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, OVW will gather information through an electronic online survey tool about trauma informed services. This information will assist OVW in the implementation of grant programs that are authorized to support victim services and will also benefit other communities that want to consider using funds to support similar services. In addition, OVW will be able to provide more effective training and technical to grantees on implementing trauma informed services.

Short Statement: OVW seeks to understand which grantees are engaged in the provision of trauma informed services and interventions, how trauma informed services and interventions are being implemented, and identify best practices. Through feedback from service providers and clinicians as well as other colleagues at other federal agencies, OVW is aware that there is confusion about what interventions and practices are considered to be "trauma-informed". In order to better support current and future grantees who provide comprehensive, holistic services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, OVW will gather specific information through an electronic online survey tool about trauma informed services. This information will assist OVW in the implementation of grant programs that are authorized to support victim services and will also benefit other communities that want to consider using funds to support similar services. In addition, OVW will be able to provide more effective training and technical to grantees on implementing trauma informed services.
