Trauma informed Practice

Quick guidance on Trauma informed Practice. 

Trauma informed Practice

The What Matters section now includes information about trauma-informed practice. Trauma-informed practice is closely aligned with the strength-based approach of What Matters. This way of working recognises that a person’s experience of trauma may influence their engagement with services and responsiveness to our interventions. While there is no shared agreement in Camden, or more widely across the social care sector about how to define and implement trauma-informed practice, we recognise the value of arriving at our approach as a collective.

You can read Lancs-VRN-Trauma-Informed-toolkit, the national trauma training framework and SAMHSA's Concept of Trauma and Guidance for Trauma Informed Approaches for long guidance.

Attached is a downloadable guide to Supporting Practitioner Wellbeing, produced by Research In Practice.

The Supporting Practitioner Wellbeing guide aims to support practitioners to repair, maintain, grow and sustain their mental health and wellbeing. This will allow practitioners  to flourish and continue to support others effectively in their professional practice.

The guide includes the following sections:

  • Introduction and background
