Understanding Vicarious Trauma & Applying Healing Focused Practices

Trauma Informed Consultancy Services Ltd support settings, services and systems in becoming trauma-informed, working towards building connection, safety and belonging. Explicitly, this means creating a setting, service and/or system that is ready to work within the principles of trauma informed practice, and develop the model of ‘realise, recognise, respond and resist’, while actively ensuring the power imbalance is redressed. We work across every sector supporting all those working with children, young people and their families.Utilising the wisdom of lived experience, academic research and practice knowledge, we will support you to offer safe, supportive and encouraging environments. The explicit focus is threefold; preventing harm, not adding to harm, seeking to mitigate harm when it has already happened. We understand that while different sectors specialise in certain areas, we all live our lives across the life course; adults were once children and children become adults which is why we believe it is important to take an holistic approach to becoming trauma informed.
