Abstract

The purpose of the doctoral capstone was to enhance Hope Found's existing trauma informed reintegration framework through the development of an occupation-based framework. The enhanced framework focused on integrating developmentally responsive intervention planning, educational programming, implementation guidance, resource organization, documentation recommendations, and outcome measurement strategies to strengthen trauma-informed service delivery and support community reintegration for adolescent survivors of human trafficking and exploitation.
