Abstract:

Today, it is known that one out of every four women has been exposed to male violence at some point in their life. In organizations such as women's shelters, women's counseling centers, violence prevention and monitoring centers, protective and preventive support services are provided for women subjected to violence. Being subject to violence creates traumatic effects on women. Therefore, it is important that the services to be offered to women are presented sensitively within the framework of an approach that takes into account the traumatic effects of violence on women. In many studies published internationally, it has been observed that services for women who have been subjected to violence are examined within the framework of trauma informed approach. In our country, no study has been found on the approach based on trauma informed towards women who have been subjected to violence both in the relevant literature and in practice. In this study, the traumatic effects of violence on women are addressed, and the use of this approach in the services to be provided to women with an approach based on trauma informed is examined. Thus, it is aimed to provide information about the trauma informed approach to the practitioners providing services in this field and to contribute to the literature.
