Inequalities Related Violence

Thank you Anne for sharing your post. Unfortunately today, our society is filled with prejudices and hatred among many individuals do to race and gender.
Recently in Charlottesville Virginia racial hatred was the scene of violence. Similarly as individuals of the LGBT community are inexplicably affected by violence as well. As prejudice, discrimination, and race are the common inequalities related violence, negative attitudes toward theses individuals pose resiliency factors associated with experiencing traumatic violence in our society (Mizock, & Lewis, 2008). Specialized treatment suggestions for victimized individuals would include Psychological first aid first to reduce or prevent people from developing of post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), and other interventions such as medication, counseling and talking with others who have experienced trauma and exercising which can help reduce physical tension, that will aid victims of violence. Therefore, clinicians should be both competent and comfortable in working with transgender survivors and the LGBT population of trauma in a clinical setting
