What does trauma-informed care look like?

08 Nov 23 What does trauma-informed care look like?

The Phoenix Team often gets asked “How do I support this young person in my role whilst they await Specialist Support from Phoenix?” this short 10-minute video from Research in Practice, summarises the basics of Trauma-informed care across all professional relationships with young people.

A beautiful quote from researchinpractice.org.uk -  

“At the heart of trauma-informed care is broadening our awareness and understanding of trauma, and the many ways that if affects individuals. By understanding how trauma affects the people we work with, and looking at what we do through their eyes, we can start to adapt our practice to meet their needs.”
