City-Wide Trauma Awareness, Sensitivity and Healing Through Relationships
I hope to try and encourage others to focus on developing relationships, bringing hope, and allow as much autonomy/choice as possible in our communities. The impact that a key person can have on a person’s life, that relationships are a buffer for trauma. Students come in our doors, and we have no idea what baggage they may have so we must be aware of that and so be kind. Improving connections and relationships in my class. Changing my views on things e.g. relationship seeking rather than attention seeking Section 3 3.1 Systems development: Upon recognising and understanding the connection between trauma and potential poor physical and social outcomes, we have a responsibility to develop a plan to raise awareness about trauma by educating local partners and service providers on what trauma is, the role trauma plays in people’s lives and that healing from trauma is through relationships. Building Cork as a Trauma-sensitive city means we will develop city-wide structures and frameworks that involve recognising, understanding, and responding to trauma that children, young people and communities are exposed to while developing systems which support those impacted by trauma.
