The challenge is great, but so is our collective power. If we want future generations to thrive, the time to act is now.

What would prevention-first systems look like in your area of work?

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.

There is a need for the focus to be on what helps children tell rather than what hinders children telling.👍https://warrenlarkinassociates.co.uk/

How much does our environment shape who we become — and how far we can go? How trauma can disrupt learning, confidence, and behaviour — and why systems that fail to recognise this often perpetuate harm rather than offer healing.

Though written 17 years ago, Warren’s article highlights a truth that remains just as important now as it was then.👇

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 ☺️

Petition: Create a trauma-informed task force to develop a strategy to address trauma

Warren Larkin Associates @wlassociates.bsky.social · Sep 2

A cross-government task force is needed to develop a national strategy, focusing on early intervention, reducing health inequalities from birth, and building a trauma-informed workforce.✅https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/719451 #TraumaInformed #TIC #PublicHealth #Policy #EquitableSystems

We think trauma is an unaddressed public health issue, with no nationwide strategy to address it. We feel a coordinated, cross-sector, trauma-informed response is essential. We urge the Government to develop a trauma-informed taskforce to create a more compassionate, effective, equitable system.

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
