After reading a few unhelpful articles about trauma, I’ve decided to share a short video series — honest reflections drawn from 30 years of experience, science, and practice. Let’s talk about #trauma with compassion, sensitivity, and balance. #TraumaInformed #Resilience x.com/warren_larki...

Even in the toughest times, optimism can be a powerful anchor. Adversity may test us, but it also offers the chance to discover resilience, hope, and new ways forward. #Hope #Optimism #Resilience #ThePsychoSocialPodcast #TraumaProof #ACEs #AdverseChildhoodExperiences #BenjaminPerks #TraumaInformed

A new international survey shows most #ECT patients report long-term #memoryloss — with many experiencing it for over 3 years. This calls for greater awareness, assessment, & support. 💙 Read the full article here: www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/psyc... @psychologytoday.com

It was a pleasure to deliver the first in this series of events for @adphuk.bsky.social on Trauma-Inforced Practice. Excellent chairing by Sarah Muckle and brilliant questions from the attendees! Thanks to everyone for your kind words in the feedback.😊 #TraumaInformed #RoutineEnquiry #PublicHealth

Had a brilliant day at @RUHBath speaking at the Chief Nursing Officer’s Forum on trauma & resilience-informed care, co-delivering training with Joanna McCloughry, and seeing first-hand the warm welcome volunteers give every visitor. 🌟 #TraumaInformed #Resilience #WorkforceWellbeing

Just came across an article I wrote for the @theguardian.com 17 years ago, around the time our book was published. The language may have shifted since then, but the core message still stands: a call for more trauma-informed, person-centred mental health care. Enjoy ☺️

Congratulations Piers!! Delighted to have been a guest. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏 #TraumaInformedEducation #ACEs #EarlyInterventions

If nearly half of our children don’t feel safe or seen, how can we expect them to learn, grow, or thrive? 👇 #Resilience #TraumaInformed #Education #ACEs

Important study👇Physical and verbal chastisement of children should not be confused with discipline. Discipline is about conveying learning and that has to happen in the context of a safe trusting relationship. t.co/ki8Puu1HOG #MentalHealth #ACEs #ChildhoodAdversity#England #Wales

Our first episode of #ThePsychoSocial Podcast — “From Adversity to Advocacy: Healing Childhood Trauma” — is now available to watch on YouTube. Catch the full conversation and gain valuable insights into turning childhood adversity into meaningful change.😊 #TraumaInformedPractice #Resilience #ACEs

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Just finished this. As a Wiganer, the references add something special. Even if you aren’t from Wigan, it’s a must read. Stuart Maconie is a brilliant writer and his storytelling is so engaging and laugh out loud funny. Cheers cocker!

It was a great conversation with Naomi & David. Love #TheLockedupLivingPodcast so it was a privilege to be a guest. 🙏 #TraumaInformedPractice

🎙️ The Psycho-Social is a space for meaningful conversations about trauma, resilience, and the systems we need to support human wellbeing. I’d love to hear your thoughts — and please feel free to share with your networks. #Podcast #TraumaInformed #ACEs #ChildhoodAdversity

If we want to deliver truly trauma-informed care, we must go beyond awareness and embrace #culturalcompetency as core practice. It’s not about ticking a box — it’s about understanding people’s stories in context, and creating safe, inclusive spaces where healing is possible. #VicariousTrauma

Wonderful to be in Leeds for the opening of the trauma informed and education conference organised and opened by Caroline Andrews and Emm Irving. Looking forward to presenting a keynote and workshop later in the day 😊#TraumaInformedPractice #ACEs #Horizon

So brilliant to reconnect with Sara Dodds after delivering a workshop on implementing Routine Enquiry about Adversity in Childhood. Sara was one of the people who championed my approach to Routine Enquiry about Adversity in Childhood (REACh) in Scotland. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-war...

What a wonderful audience today for The Biology of Belonging conference — exploring Routine Enquiry about Childhood Adversity! 😊👌 #TraumaInformedPractice #ACEs #AskingTheRightQuestions

@childinmind.bsky.social Dr Claudia Gold #biologyofbelonging Talking about mismatch-repair and moments of meeting. “Repair Teaches a critical life lesson…I can overcome problems. Countless repairs build a core sense of agency and hope.”

Excited to be at the #BiologyofBelonging conference organised by Pauline Scott and Tigers. Having fun catching up with old friends and new. Looking forward to presenting a workshop tomorrow on Routine Enquiry about Adversity in Childhood.😀 #Scotland #TraumaInformedPractice

Welcome to the team, Shelley — we're thrilled to have you on board!😀 #TraumaInformed #Coaching #Training #Associates

I’m excited to share with you that I will be presenting a workshop at the #TheBiologyofBelonging conference on 7–8 May 2025 at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-war... #TraumaInformedPractice #RoutineEnquiry #ACEs #PublicHealth #Community #Wellbeing #Belonging

Its appalling that teachers have to face this behaviour at work. Teachers & pupils should feel safe at school. .. a starting point is to look after the emotional resilience of school staff via proactive, regular group reflective practice supervision. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-war...

Victims need understanding ..where there is disclosure.. respect.. trauma informed...understanding barriers in culture/language... No prejudice.... victim blaming.... minimising...and most of all...trauma informed practice with specialists if required.

Welcome to the team, Joanna — we're thrilled to have you on board!😀 #TraumaInformed #Coaching #Training #Associates

Helping others is fulfilling— That’s why I’m passionate about making psychological science more accessible, so those in helping roles are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to create meaningful change with compassion and care. #ReflectivePractice #TraumaInformedChange #Resilience

Fantastic work, Robert Dickinson. Your energy and compassion shine through every session, and it’s consistently reflected in the feedback. The key to quality relational practice in education is ‘looking after the people who look after the people’. #TraumaInformedPractice #Education #Training

Great work! It’s fantastic to see Warren Larkin Associates bringing their experience and expertise in trauma informed approaches to the work we do. Wonderful that we are continuing our partnership with services in #Nottinghamshire and that the session was well received. 👏

WHY a child refuses to go to school has to be understood. Our recent research showed that in a sample of 8,300 students, almost 40% of students didn’t feel safe at school. Fining a family that’s already struggling isn’t going to address the root cause, just cause more stress. x.com/warren_larki...

My recent work with men in prison shows that preventing ACEs for their children is possible. As they gained insight into their own trauma, they began to change core beliefs and wanted better outcomes for their kids. #ACEs #TraumaInformedCare #BreakingTheCycle

I’m excited to excited to be delivering a workshop at this exciting event. What a brilliant line up of contributors! I’ll be covering the subject of routine and targeted enquiry about childhood trauma - challenging some of the myths and controversies, as well as offering some good practice points.🙂

Too often, we ask, “What’s wrong with you?” or “Why are you behaving that way?”—questions that assign blame instead of fostering understanding. But what if we changed the conversation? www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #TraumaInformed #Resilience #RoutineEnquiry #ACEs

Resilience and trauma-informed care and organisational practices are not just an approach or set of interventions —they are fundamental to removing barriers to the sustainability of services. #ACEs

This is depressing! What if a student has had a tough time at home, is suffering from mental health issues, experiencing abuse, neglect, or isn't fulfilling potential for other reasons? It’s time we rethink how we respond to challenges in education. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-war...

The REACh programme aims to enable services and practitioners to implement ACE enquiry as part of routine assessment processes, with all or selected service users. #RoutineEnquiry #TraumaInformedPractice #ChildhoodAdversity #Training #Education
