Abstract

This study examines the social mechanisms of trauma-informed psychological care (TIC) provided to women in crisis situations. The article analyses contemporary models of crisis intervention, the socio-psychological consequences of trauma, and the potential for post-traumatic growth among women. The integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence into psychological support systems, the advantages and limitations of online therapy, and the therapeutic potential of social networks are discussed in depth. Based on the research findings, innovative recommendations for developing the crisis psychological services system in Uzbekistan have been formulated.
