Disempowerment and Disconnection: Trauma and Homelessness examines the complex relationship between trauma and homelessness.
In exploring how trauma can be both a cause of and a result of homelessness, the report examines the nature of trauma; the day to day effects of trauma; the kinds of trauma that people affected by homelessness experience; the link between trauma and substance abuse; and how trauma prevents people from successfully resolving their homelessness.
The key questions raised by the report are
- how can homelessness caused by trauma be prevented?
- is there a need to develop specialist services for people affected by trauma?
- how should generic services incorporate an understanding of the impact of trauma into their service delivery?
