Awareness raising events: “Victims: trauma, justice and reparation. Insights” – 2nd Event

The European project I.N.T.I.T. (Integrated Trauma Informed Therapy for Children Victims of Violence), co-funded by the European Union, coordinated by the Psychoanalytic Institute for Social Research and supported in Italy by the Department for Juvenile and Community Justice, has looked at how to assure the provision of Integrated Trauma Informed Services for child victims of interpersonal violence and abuse, in each of the partner countries participating in the initiative (Spain, Germany, Estonia, Cyprus). This was done through a set of activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of the professionals working with minors exposed to trauma and violence to operate according to the TIC standards. Furthermore, at the systemic level the aim has been to promote integrated care provision, ensuring collaboration between different agencies (judicial, social, medical) in order to minimize secondary victimization and maximize the efficacy of the therapy and services provided locally.

As part of the project, two seminars have been designed in Italy as awareness raising activities on Integrated Trauma Informed Care, targeting practitioners in the justice system and other professionals involved in interventions directed to crime victims, children exposed to trauma and violence, offenders, as well as in restorative justice processes involving victims with trauma.

The two events scheduled for 20/07/2022 from 14.30 to 16.30 CET and for 29/07/2022 from 11.00 to 13.00 CET will offer the opportunity to shed light on possible intervention practices following the standards and recommendations of the Trauma Informed Care approach and of the Directive 2012/29/EU.
