Welcome to TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime

It may be invisible to some and ever-present to others--but trauma entangles us all.

Brought to you by Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime is a podcast that creates space and conversations to dissect the structural and systemic knots that keep us from addressing trauma.

We want this podcast to be an experience--one where you leave understanding how you can be a mitigator of trauma and minimize the deeply painful and costly consequences, no matter who you are.

Rooted in a belief that survivors of crime deserve respect for their dignity in the aftermath of victimization, NVRDC seeks to empower survivors by informing them of all of the options available and working to transform existing response systems to be more inclusive of the diverse needs that survivors often have after crime. We call this Survivor-Defined Justice and it’s our highest principle.

This podcast is just one of our many resources we are developing as we seek to create empowering experiences for all survivors of trauma across the nation via our trauma-informed education training, culture shifting, and systems transformation work. NVRDC also provides free, holistic, and comprehensive advocacy, case management and legal services to victims of all crime types in Washington, DC. Please follow @NVRDC & @NetworkforVictimRecoveryDC on social media and/or visit our website at NVRDC.org to learn more about how to access our trauma-informed education training and how to partner with us to expand survivor-defined justice.

Coming soon to podcast players everywhere.
