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...

Dr Warren Larkin on X: "I hope you’re all having a positive start to the week 👋 This morning, while out for a walk, I was reflecting on a couple of articles I read about trauma and they that were quite negative, contained myths, inaccuracies, and not-so-helpful messages. As a result I decided to make https://t.co/CXepYaN0Xm" / X

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 ☺️

Congratulations Piers!! Delighted to have been a guest. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏 #TraumaInformedEducation #ACEs #EarlyInterventions

If nearly half of our children don’t feel safe or seen, how can we expect them to learn, grow, or thrive? 👇 #Resilience #TraumaInformed #Education #ACEs

What would our education system look like if we placed emotional safety on the same level as academic achievement? #BackToSchool #TraumaInformedPractice #PositiveChildhoodExperiences #MentalHealthInEducation #ResilienceBuilding #TrustedAdults #Relationships

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

Warren Larkin Associates@wlassociates.bsky.social · last yr.

Culture shapes how trauma is experienced — and how we recover. New blog by Associate Consultant Emilie Smeaton explores why cultural competency is essential in trauma-informed practice. 👉 Read more: warrenlarkinassociates.co.uk/2025/07/24/p... #TraumaInformedCare #CulturalCompetency #VicariousTrauma
