Sample debriefing pamphlet

We find it helpful to give all participants information about trauma in a non-threatening newsletter or pamphlet form. This allows participants to receive information about sensitive topics without having to ask for it. For those participants living with an abusive partner, we hope this format is safer than a pamphlet or card that contains only information related to domestic violence or child abuse. (Word file).

 

Sample Approved IRB protocols

Asking parents about trauma their children have experienced. (word file)
