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.

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. 💙

Mind over medicine
Mental health professionals should look beyond the medicalisation of psychosis and recognise the relevance of traumatic life events, writes Dr Warren Larkin.

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 ☺️

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

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

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Just finished this. As a Wiganer, the references add something special. Even if you aren’t from Wigan, it’s a must read. Stuart Maconie is a brilliant writer and his storytelling is so engaging and laugh out loud funny. Cheers cocker!

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
wlassociates.bsky.social Warren Larkin Associates @wlassociates.bsky.social · Jul 24
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.
