About this ebook
In this accessible and insightful book, award-winning psychologists Dr Karen Treisman and Dr Mandy Davis answer 40 of the most common and thorny questions asked and dilemmas faced by leaders, managers and practitioners. They draw on real-world experience, psychological insight, everyday lessons learned, and reflective questioning. Examples of the questions explored include: "How do we do trauma-informed with funding cuts?", "Is trauma-informed just about being sweet and nice?", and "How about when it collides and jars with existing policies and procedures?"
Bridging theory and practice, this curious and reflective book is a companion for creating trauma-informed cultures across health, education, social care, and justice settings. Grounded, practical, and inspiring, it is essential for professionals and policymakers seeking to move beyond intention and towards meaningful, lasting change with integrity, courage, humility and curiosity.
