Abstract

Objective: We call for the psychiatric rehabilitation field to assess overpolicing as racialized trauma via a targeted universal trauma screening to provide trauma-informed rehabilitation services.

Methods: We examine the overpolicing of low-level, nonviolent activities and offenses through frequent stops, tickets, and arrests of disproportionately those who have mental health conditions and are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. These police interactions can produce traumatic responses and exacerbate symptoms. Assessing and responding to overpolicing is vital for psychiatric rehabilitation to provide trauma-informed services.

Results: We present preliminary practice data using an expanded trauma exposure form with racialized trauma, such as police harassment and brutality, that is absent from validated screenings. From this expanded screening, the majority of participants reported undisclosed racialized trauma.

Conclusions and implications for practice: We recommend the field devote practice and research to racialized trauma and policing and the lasting effects to support trauma-informed services. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

过度监管有严重精神健康问题的人:考虑为创伤知情的精神康复服务的种族化创伤。

目的:我们呼吁精神康复领域通过有针对性的普遍创伤筛查来评估过度监管作为种族化创伤，以提供创伤知情的康复服务。方法:我们通过频繁的拦截、罚单和逮捕不成比例的有精神健康问题的黑人、土著和有色人种来检查对低级非暴力活动和犯罪的过度监管。这些警察的互动会产生创伤性反应并加剧症状。评估和应对过度监管对于精神康复提供创伤知情服务至关重要。结果:我们提出了初步的实践数据，使用扩展的创伤暴露表，包括种族化的创伤，如警察骚扰和暴行，这在有效的筛查中是没有的。从这个扩大的筛选中，大多数参与者报告了未公开的种族化创伤。结论和对实践的影响:我们建议该领域将实践和研究投入到种族化的创伤和警务以及支持创伤知情服务的持久影响上。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
