Responding to trauma is a matter for public and collective action as well as individual initiative.
As our news illustrates, well-informed observers from the worlds of practice and inspection are warning about the rising challenge of serving needs among young people. As the drumbeat of the general election approaches, it will be incumbent on all the parties to show how they will address these challenges.
At the same time, we salute survivors who have navigated their own routes in life through the obstacles created by traumatic episodes and our Lived Experience examples should encourage those struggling at any stage of their lives.
We hope that the approach of Spring is giving you renewed hope as well as nurturing your reserves of resilience in challenging times!
Our May Webinar will certainly help with this renewal, focusing on transforming Children's Services via a Trauma Informed Modular Approach to tackle toxic stress - Count me in!
Expand the ACEs work!
We are planning screenings of Resilience, the inspiring documentary about ACEs, in community venues across London. Following the showing, there will be a panel discussion with reflections from the audience.
If you believe your community would benefit from the learning opportunity, get in touch!
New opportunities to work with the Hub are also available via voluntary roles in communication and media.
- How can we create more powerful communications engaging as many Londoners as possible? We would welcome advice from experienced media activists who share our values.
- If you wish to volunteer to help compile and publish this newsletter, we would also be pleased to hear from you.
For a chat about these opportunities or if you have items for this newsletter, send us a hello.
