Web of Support

Research Question:

Does trauma affect justice impacted individuals' use of webs of support?

Research Method:

1. Four justice impacted individuals were recruited from two service organizations dedicated to higher education support for the formerly incarcerated. A four question interview was conducted over video to determine individual perceptions of success, resilience, and use of webs of support.

2. Common themes were identified and compared to current literature examining individual support networks and webs of support after chronic exposure to trauma.
