Topic: Understanding young people: Using a Trauma-Informed Lens
Presenter: Lee Ball (UKi Territory)
When a young person experiences trauma it has the capacity to change the structure and function of the brain, to change the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. The young person will often try to survive, sometimes by any means necessary. This response can often result in stigma toward the individual, that they are making bad choices – when in fact the choices an individual makes are determined by their context.
The result of trauma means that the experience often becomes the reality. It becomes the experience in a person’s life, rather than one of many. The trauma very quickly becomes the organising principle from which the person lives their life always trying to cope with and/or avoid the impact of the trauma.
This webinar explores our understanding of a trauma-informed approach and how our practice can help support those desperately seeking a sense of safety, connection and love.
We hope you can join us.
