Psychosocial Care for Vulnerable Victims

When the pain of having been a victim is welcomed, the chance to start again is born. This book brings to light the reality of women, children and adolescents who seek protection after experiencing profound violence, and analyzes how psychosocial care in police stations can be a gateway to overcoming trauma and rebuilding dignity through care. Based on an in-depth investigation of the sad realities reported in the police units of the 2nd Regional Police Station in Araguaína, Tocantins, the book reveals challenges, weaknesses and also paths of hope. With qualified listening, psychological support and an articulated network, it is possible to transform the institutional experience of victims into something reparative - and not a new source of suffering. A necessary read for anyone who believes in a more humane justice system.
