A new approach to trauma-informed care developed by domestic violence survivor advocates and researchers at The Ohio State University has been found to improve support organizations’ care for survivors by better recognizing brain injury and addressing its often long-lasting repercussions. CARE is the first trauma-informed approach that considers brain injury in the complex set of circumstances to be addressed and accommodated in order for domestic violence survivors to access safety, health and social services. It was created in response to 2019 work by Ohio State researchers and the Ohio Domestic Violence Network that found 8 in 10 survivors seeking help have suffered head injuries and strangulation by their abusers.
