Module 1: Foundations of Trauma-Informed Entrepreneurship Video Presentation

Module 1 serves as the introductory training within the Empowering Survivor Entrepreneurs initiative developed by Ladies Empowered with Resources (LEWR). This module explores the intersection of trauma-informed care and entrepreneurship education, helping providers understand how trauma can influence entrepreneurial journeys, business engagement, self-confidence, emotional regulation, and long-term sustainability.

The training introduces foundational trauma-informed principles including safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, cultural responsiveness, and survivor-centered engagement within entrepreneurship settings.

Participants are guided through practical examples, reflective activities, and implementation strategies designed to help organizations create safer and more supportive entrepreneurship environments for survivors.

This module is intended for transitional housing providers, victim service organizations, workforce development professionals, entrepreneurship coaches, advocates, case managers, faith-based organizations, and multidisciplinary professionals supporting survivors of trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, or economic abuse.

Materials may be used for educational and implementation support purposes.

This webinar recording elevates why housing is a priority area for survivors of sexual assault, discusses key findings from a series of listening sessions hosted by the National Sexual Assault Housing Collaborative, and shares recommendations to better address the housing needs of survivors of sexual assault.

El acceso a WiFi se ha vuelto tan común que muchos lugares públicos cuentan con redes y puntos de acceso a los que usted puede conectarse. Pero, simplemente el hecho de que una red está disponible no significa que sea segura. La información a continuación les proporcionará a usted, y a los/las sobrevivientes a quienes atiende, las herramientas necesarias para mantenerse a salvo mientras utilizan cualquier red de WiFi.

WiFi access has become so commonplace that many public places have networks and hotspots that you can connect to. But just because a network is available doesn’t mean it is secure. The information below will provide you, and the survivors you serve, with the tools needed to stay safe while using any WiFi network.

Recognizing the need for a separate and concerted effort to address these unique housing challenges, particularly for survivors of sexual assault whose experiences occur(ed) outside the context of domestic violence, the National Sexual Assault Housing Collaborative developed this toolkit for:
– sexual assault service providers to build a foundational knowledge around housing and equip advocates to meet survivors housing needs throughout their lifespan, and
– housing professionals, including transitional housing service providers, to elevate the unique housing challenges experienced by sexual assault survivors and improve housing outcomes for survivors.

It is comprised of downloadable resources designed to encourage organizations to explore current housing service provision through a sexual assault lens. From knowledge building around sexual assault survivors housing challenges and funding that can be used to support this work to tools that promote future housing strategy, this toolkit serves as one component of an organization’s journey to meet sexual assault survivors housing needs. It does not serve as a substitute for cross-training opportunities or connection with local, state, or national experts.

Process mapping is a systematic, step-by-step approach that uses flowcharts and other visual tools to clearly describe how a process works and who is involved at each stage. The goal is to ensure that no steps are overlooked while also identifying areas of uncertainty that may require further discussion or clarification.

A key strength of process mapping is its collaborative nature. It draws on the experiences and expertise of everyone involved in the process, using teamwork to accurately outline each step from start to finish. This shared approach improves understanding, alignment, and accountability across the group.

As part of effective project planning, process mapping helps teams collectively identify strengths, gaps, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. By pinpointing where these factors occur within the process, teams can make informed decisions, streamline workflows, and improve overall performance.
