Historical Trauma ResponseHistorical Trauma Response is the
response to massive group trauma.
Observed among Native American populations, African Americans and Holocaust survivors and descendants.

What relevance does understanding HT have for New Horizons?
Training goals:◦to provide a framework for
understanding “Sanctuary Trauma”, and
◦to recognize that understanding Historical Trauma will help us realize that Sanctuary Trauma does not happen in a vacuum.

My Grandpa Bonnin – who started me on the journey of understanding historical trauma
Grandpa told me horrific stories of his experiences while in boarding school.

Historical Trauma and People with DisabilitiesMany years later, I was diagnosed with
schizoaffective disorder while experiencing domestic violence.
I was removed from my home. I was forcibly medicated. I was forced to live in a group home that was in
another town on the other side of the county.Everything I did and said was written down as if
everything I did and said was not normal. I was very frightened in this unfamiliar situation
and place. I became skeptical of the mental health system
and domestic violence services and their ability to provide assistance to me.

Things that make you go hmmm…
A challenge was voiced:◦How has historical trauma impacted
people with disabilities?◦How is that impact manifested today? ◦How is historical trauma promulgated
currently and passed down intergenerationally?

What are cultures of disabilities, i.e., Disability Culture?
People with all different kinds of disabilities sharing a lot of things in common.
Most people with disabilities do not have parents with disabilities.
Historical trauma is transmitted by laws, policies, and social mores more than by ethnic or familial transmission.
ACE studies: can be transmitted via familial intergenerational transmission and epigenetics.
It is learned by individual and collective experiences.

Historical Trauma Today: Why It Matters
•How might the experience of Crazy-making4 impact people you work with today?
•Lack of trust in government and government-funded public services, including domestic violence programs and human service programs.
•Domestic violence and disability service agencies can be experienced or perceived as just another agency to transmit betrayal/historical trauma.
![Page 21: Look Back to Move Forward how historic institutional policies and systems impact People we serve. Karen M. Lane Disability Rights Wisconsin & C.J. Doxtater.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ced5503460f949ba15b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some Questions for New Horizons to Consider How might historic and current institutionalization
policy and practice impact individuals you serve?
Are your staff aware of HT and its impact?
Consider how forced treatment and compliance impact people with disabilities and their approach to helping relationships…how might they perceive your help?
Does your organization consider, assess, and prepare staff regarding HT and HT response in the people you serve?
Who defines what is abusive and violent towards the individuals seeking your services? Have you considered sanctuary or betrayal trauma is a form of violence?
![Page 22: Look Back to Move Forward how historic institutional policies and systems impact People we serve. Karen M. Lane Disability Rights Wisconsin & C.J. Doxtater.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ced5503460f949ba15b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Confronting & Transcending Historical Trauma
Embrace and encourage self-determination and self-actualization through:
◦Tribal/Group ritual, language, and traditions;
◦Self-determination;
◦Discovering your own stories and inventing new ones; and
◦Practicing one’s own religion/spirituality.

In Closing…Historical Trauma is not only about what
happened in the past.It’s part of a person’s overall framework
that impacts:◦how they may interact with us, ◦how we – together -- navigate the use of
power in our relationships, and consequently ◦how accessible our services are to achieve the
individual’s identified outcomes.By being trauma-informed, you will
reduce re-traumatizing individuals who seek your services and increase safety.
