Bridging Responses: A Front-Line Worker’s Guide to Supporting Women Who Have Post-Traumatic Stress

Lori Haskell

Many women who seek help from front-line health and social services have experienced past violence and trauma. Bridging Responses is a resource for front-line health and social service providers who work with women in health care, literacy, substance use, corrections, housing and community services. Front-line staff often do not recognize that many of their clients’ difficulties may be associated with responses to complex post-traumatic stress. This book:

• explains complex post-traumatic stress, and why front-line workers need to know about it
• provides tools to help workers recognize responses to post-traumatic stress in women’s lives
• suggests helpful interventions for frontline workers and describes different treatment approaches
• describes how to establish a level of confidence in clients who have survived abuse and violence, so they may consider referrals to appropriate services or resources.
