Today is indeed a sad and harsh reminder for us in Aotearoa that all is not well! Infact, there has been much harm, abuse, neglect and trauma, which has been evident for the past few years but nothing across the systems seems to have changed to prevent further trauma harm and abuse. The systemic trauma continues and marginalised communities continue to be left unseen, unheard and undervalued! While there is acknowledgement of the pervasive & systemic trauma, harm, abuse and neglect in the report; and a clear indication about the need for trauma informed approaches across education, health, justice and social services sectors to respond appropriately to and support those affected by trauma, there is no clear focus on proactively embedding trauma informed approaches across sectors to ensure systems, processes and the workforce are inclusive, holistic, equitable and prevent trauma from happening in the first place. To be responsive is not adequate! We must be proactive and embed preventative measures. This is why, a thorough understanding of neuroscience and trauma informed approaches can help shift mindsets to ensure educators and others across health, justice and social services sectors are inclusive supportive and appropriately responsive to all children and individuals, no matter their individual needs, abilities, disabilities, disadvantages or experiences of trauma. Only then can our next generation thrive with wellbeing, rather than survive with trauma that gets generationally transmitted. The question remains .... Will the politicians set aside their own personal priviledged views and perspectives aside, and work collectively to commit to prevention of trauma and abuse in the future so that our tamariki and rangatahi can thrive without the threat of discrimination, neglect, abuse, inappropriate supports, inequity, and marginalisation??? https://lnkd.in/grXdiHSN

Therapists are trained to never disclose anything personal about themselves, however I believe in certain circumstances it can build trust to be transparent with the client. The negative experiences of childhood trauma or relationship problems are common across the human population, and when we normalize this experience it can mitigate some of the disbelief the person is feeling. Of course we are not trying to unload our “stuff” onto clients, but a simple, vulnerable disclosure about a time we felt in despair can build an immense amount of trust! #therapyjourney #therapy #thought #foryouforusforgrowth #cbttherapy

In services for survivors of complex trauma, the refrain that “trauma happens in relationship and is healed in relationship” is often repeated and is true. That being said, it can be hard to get started and learn how to rebuild these connections. Resources like the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s 5-for-5 connection challenge can be fun ways to stretch connection and relationship muscles and to gamify the relearning of initial connection after relational trauma such as human trafficking. This week’s emphasis of human trafficking prevention month is on social connection (one of my favorite things). Our ability to model this when working in the social services field and to provide tools to those we work with are important elements of trauma-informed care, so easy tools like the 5-for-5 challenge are great to put in our toolbelt alongside some of the more long-term and trauma-focused relational interventions. #humantrafficking #humantraffickingawareness #traumainformed

I had a great conversation with Alexandre Baril about his book, "Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide". Baril argues that the way we treat suicidal people is a form of discrimination. The current approach is also failing to prevent suicides. In this interview, we talk about the approach he advocates for in his book and how adopting it would change suicide prevention, medical assistance in dying, and the healthcare system. https://lnkd.in/gcE_xrp8
