Trauma-sensitive assessment practices with the 'Your Story' approach
This webinar will explore the 'Your Story' project, which aims to promote culture change within assessment practice, so ways of working between individuals and services are more relational, human, power-balanced, and trauma-informed.
Through co-production methods, a tool has been developed by people with lived experience to enable people experiencing multiple disadvantage to:
- Take control of their information when using services
- Share their story in a way that matters to them
- Reduce the need to repeat their story and risk re-traumatisation.
The webinar will be co-led by:
Katarzyna "Katy" Krysiak, Project Officer in Plymouth City Council, working with the Changing Futures Plymouth Programme, has eight years of experience in housing/homelessness, and recently expanded her focus to address multiple disadvantage and system change.
Emma Stevens, Project Officer working in the Changing Futures Plymouth Programme, has a strong interest in understanding systems of oppression and privilege, and how those with lived experience of disadvantage can guide systems-change.
