Within the PA 18-5 framework, which service is included for FV victims?

• A. Legal advice for the offender.
• B. Financial compensation for the victim.
• C. Trauma-informed care providers.
• D. Vehicle repair assistance.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that the PA 18-5 framework includes trauma-informed care providers as a service for victims of family violence. Trauma-informed care is all about recognizing how trauma affects a person and ensuring that services are delivered in a way that reduces the chance of re-traumatizing the victim. Providers in this network focus on safety, stability, and long-term recovery, offering or coordinating counseling, health care, housing or shelter referrals, and safety planning. This makes them a central support for FV victims under the framework.

Legal advice for the offender misses the victim-support focus of PA 18-5, and financial compensation, while important, isn’t the specific service category highlighted here. Vehicle repair assistance is practical support but does not address the trauma-informed care approach that aims to support a victim’s healing and safety.
