Bringing Sexual Violence Trauma-Informed Services Behind Bars: Getting a PREA Program off the Ground
In this workshop, using HAWC’s efforts to develop and sustain the expanded PREA programming in the greater Houston area, participants will learn about the critical need for and potential ways to create a PREA program, as well as best practices for working collaboratively with detention facility administration and staff. Because this programming connects to long-term social justice goals, the workshop also will include information about supporting survivors upon reentry. Participants also will have the opportunity to view the HAWC-Harris County Sheriff’s Office short film, Your Rights As An Inmate: Responding to and Reporting Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment. This collaboratively written and produced film is a powerful example of resource advocacy. The film features HAWC and Harris County Jail staff, as well as testimony from incarcerated survivors.

Trauma and Resilience Integration Using Multiple Pathways to Healing (TRIUMPH) Model
Trauma and Resilience Integration Using Multiple Pathways to Healing (TRIUMPH) model is a trauma informed model that allows flexibility in how trauma is processed. We know that the model of treatment is not a "one size fits all" so we have integrated the information gathered from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES), the brain science that exists in regard to how trauma affects the brain and how powerful healthy relationships can be as a corrective experience.

How Law Enforcement Leaders Can Build a Trauma Informed Response Culture at Their Agency
Progressive law enforcement agencies are changing the way they investigate sexual assault. Based on neuroscience research into trauma’s effect on the brain, police organizations have begun to adapt their perspectives on rape victims’ behavior and memory following an attack. Are these same agencies ensuring their policies and procedures maintain these changes? Are police executives committed to transforming the culture of their agency? Has the overall culture changed, or will gender biases creep back in, negating the progress they have made? Are the positive changes sustainable?
