Critelli, F., & Yalim, A. C. (2020). Improving access to domestic violence services for women of immigrant and refugee status: A trauma-informed perspective. Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work, 29(1-3), 95-113. DOI: 10.1080/15313204.2019.1700863
Abstract study is based in a mid-size city in New York State, where the immigrant and refugee population is steadily growing as a result of the U.S. federal resettlement program and secondary migration. These transformations pose challenges to service providers. Women of immigrant and refugee status who experience domestic violence constitute a particularly vulnerable, yet underserved population. This study is based on 25 in-depth interviews with program users and service providers within organizations that serve domestic violence survivors. It examines service needs and paths to help-seeking among these women through an intersectional and trauma-informed lens. Recommendations to improve service delivery and policies for this population are discussed.
