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

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 ☺️

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

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

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

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

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...
