How does someone who uses your setting, service or system KNOW is is trauma-informed? Thank you Betsy de Thierry of Trauma Recovery UK for having me to be part of this deeper conversation about trauma awareness, trauma-informed practices and trauma recovery.

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Great idea…. My PhD is looking at staff’s experience working within a public service which has gone through a transition of becoming ‘trauma informed’ and their journey throughout that. Some really interesting stuff coming up so far ….

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery That's incredibly interesting. Imagine alongside that, someone focusing on those using the service. Please stay in touch. I'm really interested in what you're doing...

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Making sure ‘trauma-informed’ is not just a performative buzz word Yes, #LanguageMatters if backed up by action Interesting

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery ❤️

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Like you said Lisa, your body will tell you ♥️

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery This is really important work Lisa, thank you.

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery When you know, you know 😉

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Yep...

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery It's became a buzzword to underpinning the service and giving it credibility. So focused on their credibility They lose focus on who matters!

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Sadly settings often think they’re trauma informed because ‘they say they are’…..it’s deemed offensive to imply someone doesn’t really understand what it means which is why it needs proper regulation to use that statement im’humble’o

@betsydet @Trauma_recovery Baby steps. That's what I was told 8 years ago. Looking back on those 8 years, I think there has been a 10% change towards Trauma Informed practice in the culture around me.
