A Radical Approach – Collective Solutions For Residents And Community Groups
Workshop Outline
Join us for an inspiring and practical workshop exploring how trauma-informed practice (TIP) can be a powerful tool for creating meaningful change and resilience in our communities.
Facilitated by Arantxa Gaba and Isis Amlak, who successfully championed the integration of TIP into Kensington & Chelsea’s local planning framework, with support from Kensington & Chelsea Social Council and Just Space.
We will explore what TIP really means in practice, why we need a radical approach and why TIP PLUS (TIP+) is necessary. We will examine how these principles can be embedded into planning and assess this approach in the fight for housing justice.
Participants will learn and share how collective organising and community-led solutions are essential to creating safer, healthier environments that reflect residents’ needs. Whether you’re a community organiser, resident, or professional, this workshop will enable you to stand in your power as changemaker and build resilience through shared action.
Objectives:
· To understand the core principles of trauma-informed practice (TIP) and its relevance to community-led solutions.
· To explore why a radical, collective approach (TIP+) is essential for lasting impact.
· To explore practical steps for effectively integrating TIP into local planning processes

Join us to learn, share ideas, and connect with others committed to building safer, more equitable and resilient communities through trauma-informed approaches.
