Trauma informed approaches are crucial because there are links between childhood experiences of trauma and experiencing multiple or complex traumas and homelessness. We cannot know what each individual will find traumatic or retraumatising when we start to engage with them, but we can build relationships, processes and systems that are mindful of this.
We know that people have disproportionately experienced trauma whilst navigating the immigration system, during pandemics, and whilst journeying through the homelessness process itself. We often hear stories of intergenerational trauma, due to entrenched inequality and the frustration that workers voice when the system has not changed and cycles repeat themselves.
How can we bring about more positive change? What does designing and implementing a trauma informed way of working actually mean?
