“…Provider attunement to the concept of "fierce autonomy" may help enhance provider compassion, empathy, and trauma-informed communication with CSE young women. Findings align with prior research supporting the important role of nurturing survivors' selfdetermination in their healing journey (Ladd & Weaver, 2018), which our data suggests as an important facet for increasing utilization and engagement of CSE young women in health services.…”

PURPOSE:We sought to understand the perspectives of commercially sexually exploited (CSE) young women regarding their healthcare needs, access, and utilization patterns.METHODS: Twenty-one CSE young women participated in this mixed-methods study. Data collection included brief surveys measuring healthcare utilization, followed by in-depth, semistructured interviews to gain insight into CSE young women's healthcare needs, barriers and facilitators to healthcare, utilization patterns, and recommendations for improving care. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics for the quantitative survey data and thematic analysis for the qualitative interviews.

“…Findings support the need to guide the young women with CSE histories towards more constructive forms of coping and to offer care and options on terms they accept. Thus, infusing a harm reduction and trauma-informed lens can help providers understand and address prevalent substance use patterns (Ladd & Weaver, 2018).…”

“…Fostering survivor engagement through shared-decision making can be a mechanism for building trust (Ladd & Weaver, 2018;Sahl & Knoepke, 2018)-one that seems essential for achieving buy-in among adolescent females with histories of CSE. Many adolescent females impacted by CSE are exposed to behavioral healthcare, including through the juvenile justice and child welfare system, and thus engagement is more of a "buy-in" issue rather than an access issue.…”

Background: Adolescent females with histories of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) have high mental health and substance use treatment needs, yet little is known about their perspectives regarding behavioral health and behavioral health treatment. Objective:We sought to understand the attitudes of adolescent females with histories of CSE regarding behavioral health to identify factors influencing "buy-in" to behavioral healthcare. Participants and Setting:Participants included 21 adolescent females, affiliated with our partner organizations (two group homes, a service agency, and a juvenile specialty court), who reported having exchanged sex for something of value. Methods:In-depth qualitative interviews explored participants' perspectives towards behavioral health. We conducted thematic analysis to identify themes concerning behavioral health.Results: Participants provided insightful definitions of "mental health" that included positive and negative aspects of emotional and cognitive states (e.g. "being happy with yourself' and "not thinking suicidal"), indicating intensified mental health challenges and resilience. Substance use was viewed as a coping mechanism for childhood trauma and their exploitation. Trusted relationships with providers and navigable health systems that encourage autonomy were key to promoting "buy-in" and thus engagement in behavioral health treatment. A conceptual model emerged illustrating factors leading to treatment engagement.

“…15 Importantly, this holistic approach to trauma intervention is less common in more widely established versions of trauma health and treatment in Western societies, which have autonomy, uniqueness and independent decision making as therapeutic goals in their approaches to trauma recovery. 16 Many of these studies highlight that it is not only religion but also other spiritual beliefs that help people through traumatic experiences. 17 Additionally, attending religious gatherings has been found to improve physical, social and emotional health.…”

Trauma is a global phenomenon that affects millions each year. Recovery from trauma is challenging and approaches vary between cultures and models. Faith and spirituality have long-been traditional modes for healing in cultures worldwide. However, through a largely Western-dominated medical model of treatment, healing through religion and spirituality had been often overlooked in favor of medical diagnoses and psychiatric treatment. The ability to recover from traumatic circumstances and adversity is known as resilience. Yet there is limited research available on how faith and spirituality may build resilience in the aftermath of trauma and its application in developing countries, such as Cambodia. The aim of this qualitative study was to understand what factors, including faith and spirituality, had enabled the recovery from trauma of Cambodian young people, through the collection of their oral narratives. The young people reported that coping strategies, such as faith and spirituality, played a role in in transforming their lived traumatic experiences into strengths. This paper explores faith as a resilience factor and how faith and spirituality may support healing and positive-growth outcomes for young Cambodians recovering from trauma.
