A really important step forward in understanding the contribution of #traumainformed training/practice to preventing serious violence. Really glad to see this published and to have been involved. @TheEIFoundation

Helen is either a liar or very stupid. Or both. Helen would make terrible policy based on prejudice not facts. We can’t afford to have MPs like Helen. Helen should be utterly ashamed of herself.

🚨 New research alert! 🚨

We have just published the Phase 1 report of our evaluation of Enhanced Case Management (ECM) in the South West of England. We consider this a must-read for all YJS management boards – but what exactly is ECM?

Behaviour = communication.

Asking 'what happened to you' is a really important principle, but can be challenging in practice. Looks like a really helpful session to support practitioners.

[Dr Warren Larkin @warren_larkin]

Please join me 31st January at 18:00 'Asking What Happened to You? A fundamental principle of Trauma Informed Care'
We will explore the barriers, concerns, enablers & best practice in routine & targeted enquiry about childhood adversity & trauma.

Happy New Year everyone. Are you ready for #traumainformed2023? We made so much progress last year but I feel this one's going to be even better.

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

@warren_larkin @LancsVRN @SuptSrivastava @DirectorSueLVRN Great to see it's still going strong, really important work.

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

Interesting crossovers here with approach to Neurodiversity and #traumainformed practice. Not least as trauma also impacts neurological development. 🤔

[College of Policing @CollegeofPolice]

“1 in 3 people moving through the justice system are thought to be neurodivergent.”

Project Manager Sarah Gardner from @metpoliceuk explains how neurodiversity can affect an individual’s response during police interaction.

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

Great to see @OHID publication of a working definition for #traumainformed practice in health and social care. One more step forward on the journey to #TraumaInformed2022!

Becoming #traumainformed might be a journey without a destination, but it helps to have a map. #traumainformed2022

[College of Policing @CollegeofPolice]

Today we’re in Birmingham discussing trauma informed approaches at #TraumaInformed2022

We’ll be highlighting key opportunities for policing to understand the complex nature of trauma and work to prevent re-traumatisation.

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

So much energy and engagement yesterday at #traumainformed2022. Really helpful to have this summary from @YouthEndowFund based on the best available research. Bring on day 2!

😆😱😆 perfect prep for today's conference with VRUs, policing and academic partners looking at what it means to be #traumainformed2022

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Halloween is the perfect excuse to build our learning for improvement. This ghostly cartoon teaches us the difference between an output & an outcome. It's a distinction that gets confused often in health & care organisations. Thanks @traffyaston. #QITwitter #HappyHalloween

Thanks @TraumaCareUK for a really inspiring day on youth violence. Great presentations from @martinpgriff @KeirIrwinRogers @lbilli91 @rmjenner @metpoliceuk and others. Fantastic to hear support for #traumainformed as a central piece of the puzzle from a range of practitioners

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

Looking forward to attending day 2 sessions on youth violence tomorrow and hearing some fresh approaches and new perspectives.

[Trauma Care Charity UK @TraumaCareUK]

It's day one of the Trauma Care Conference and jam packed! All the talks are incredible so far and we cannot thank our programme leads enough for their efforts putting them together for us. It's not too late to get tickets for the rest of the week though!

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

Food for thought. https://t.co/FtUQ0l3mUH

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

#traumainformed is a journey without a final destination? A way of being that requires constant vigilance, deep listening and reflection. Great insights from @CaredigLtd and @weareplatfform on systems change and TI in practice.

[Platfform @weareplatfform]

Excited to be kicking off this event alongside @CaredigLtd @NewSystemAlly and launching a new report looking at feeling our way through system change #WisdomFromHousing

Just came across these brilliant illustrations by @Juliet_Young1. A picture speaks 1000 words.

[Juliet Young (she/her) @Juliet_Young1]

I don't think I ever posted this one either. Drawn after some forensic teaching a year or so ago. Chronic abuse can lead to such protective behaviour that it masks the fear behind a fight response. I'm not condoning behaviour but I believe compassion is essential for change...

[Leo Schwartz @LeoASchwartz]

Very exciting to see this opportunity for robust evaluation of #traumainformed practice go live. Looking forward to seeing which projects are successful. Good luck everyone!

[Youth Endowment Fund @YouthEndowFund]

Today we've opened our £4m trauma-informed practice funding round. We want to learn more about how this approach can prevent young people from becoming involved in violence.
