Trauma-informed care for women who are forced migrants: a qualitative study among service providers

CONCLUSIONS: Violence, abuse and oppression against forced migrant women severely impact their health and possibilities of accessing support. Services providing trauma-informed care for forced migrants need to empower women, and carefully consider gender-related aspects impacting women's opportunities to access and utilise trauma-informed care. To ensure that women who need support access it, trauma-informed services should work with outreach efforts, ensure competence development among providers, counteract practical barriers and coordinate with health and social services.PMID:38482794 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241237591
