Trauma informed practice

Framework

Our Trauma Informed Reflective Framework supports individuals, teams and organisations take a trauma-sensitive approach to their work.

It helps assess your current practices and provides step-by-step guidance on how you can better support those who have experienced trauma and those working with them.

Community of Practice

We facilitate a Community of Practice group - providing professionals in North Northamptonshire the opportunity to:

• learn more about trauma informed practices
• share best practice
• discuss challenges encountered when implementing this approach

This group meets online every 2 months.
