One of the things that disturbs me is how some people in "administrative" positions are in effect delaying the setting up of trauma informed care through their not being prepared to do essential "inner work", doing, but not only, their own healing from any adverse childhood experiences in their own lives. Let's not forget --- these are people with handsome physical, social, and organizational resources at their disposal -- a lot more than the clients in need of support, the clients in need of trauma informed care
Yet, this inner work is often seen to be the essential first step in bringing about such changes in systems -- take, for example, of Mike Lew's Victims No Longer https://goo.gl/t1Ropc list of safety guidelines for group leaders wishing to set up groups for men who have been sexually abused as children; and more generally, Guy Macpherson's email and book series https://goo.gl/zxirOF
What resources do other people use to guide this work?
