5 BUILDING TRUST & TRAUMA INFORMED APPROACH TO WORKING WITH CUSTOMERS IMPACTED BY DV. Victims/survivors often are living in daily fear, doubt, worry, threat, isolation, control and suffering. For many it does not ease up.ever! Systems that are designed to help people are often are also barriers to a survivor.
6 Lead with compassion, openness and listen. Help the survivor feel that they matter and are understood. Avoid judging or victim blaming. Help be a bridge between what is expected in the regulations and what the customer is really able to do. Create an environment where the truth can be told.
7 BROADEN PERSPECTIVES. SEE FROM THE CONTEXT OF THEIR LIFE. Living in a world of domestic violence often means a full lack of control of ones own ability to come and go freely, answer questions truthfully, seek help, comply with regulations when receiving services, hold down a job or home, recall information accurately.
8 Examples of where within the scope of CalWORKs cases a staff member may find signs of DV: EBT card requests Homelessness/whereabouts unknown Size of Family Father(s) unknown Welfare-to-work sanctions/non-compliance Case status changing frequently

18 4. Understand that in some communities, efforts to seek assistance may bring shame and disgrace to the individual or entire family.
19 5. Explain to the client the importance of making copies of all important documents (like birth certificates, passport, and immigration paper) and keeping them in a safe place.
20 6. Beware that some non-citizens may come from countries or situations where there they had few or no rights.

23 9. Help your client access any other services s/he may need, including shelter, social services, and protection through civil and or criminal legal systems.
24 10. Be mindful that you are dealing with an individual who has suffered profound violence and s/he may not have the vocabulary to communicate what s/he have experienced.
