Trauma informed care
As a trauma informed practice, we raise awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which are stressful events occurring in childhood. These can have lifelong impacts on health and behaviour and include:ACEs should not be seen as someone’s destiny, there is much that can be done to offer hope and build resilience.
