Barriers to physical activity are especially complicated for self-identified women who have experienced or are experiencing multiple marginalizing circumstances (e.g., socio-economic inequity, domestic and structural violence, histories of trauma,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">family violence<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, substance abuse, or racism). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Barriers to physical activity can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appropriateness of programming<\/li>\n<li>Perceived personal and community safety<\/li>\n<li>Availability of childcare\/sibling care<\/li>\n<li>Access to infrastructure (recreational facilities, bike lanes, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Resources required to participate in physical activity, such as clothing, shoes, or equipment<\/li>\n<li>Transportation to and from programming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Trauma- and violence-informed physical activity (TVIPA) aims to\u00a0reduce\u00a0the number of barriers women face to accessing physical activity. TVIPA was adapted from trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) and offers an alternative to\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">conventional physical activity programming that often does not account for social and structural inequities, interpersonal violence, or family violence. TVIPA calls for physical activity providers to understand and account for intersecting effects of systemic, structural, interpersonal, gender-based, domestic, sexual and family violence.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">TVIPA has adopted the four key tenets from TVIC:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Trauma<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">-awareness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Safety and trustworthiness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Opportunity for choice c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ollaboration and connection\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A strengths-based and capacity building approach<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Women and children who experience(d) family violence may be a population who can reap the benefits of the physical, social, emotional and mental health outcomes afforded by structured TVIPA interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Goals<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The overall goal of this project to leverage TVIPA to support self-identified women and children who have experienced or are experiencing family violence through community-based participatory projects and research.
