The trauma of human trafficking, slavery, and abuse can have a profound and lasting impact.
For the women and children Hagar serves, trauma can show up in many ways and lead to difficulties in living in community, building trusting relationships and thriving in freedom.
What is Trauma-Informed Care?
Hagar is a trauma-informed organization, which means all of our programmes start with the individual and their unique needs for restoration, are follow culturally responsive principles.
Each Hagar staff member is trained in trauma-informed care to ensure we deliver the best possible support to our clients.
Through trauma-informed survivor care, prevention and systems strengthening efforts, we work to foster healing and growth in the clients we serve, our staff, and our partners.
Hagar works to embed our holistic, trauma-informed care approach in local actors across the Asia-Pacific region by leveraging our wealth of experience as an implementor and trusted partner. This allows us to rapidly scale up survivor services and prevention practices in a localized, sustainable manner.
To do this, we establish partnerships with trusted local organizations and replicate our knowledge through capacity-building of national staff. This drives a widespread increase in quality care for survivors and lead to increased impact.
“My house mother and Hagar staff loved me, cared for me, smiled at me, and encouraged me to stay strong. This gave me hope and helped me gain back my strength.”
