"I cannot sing Scott’s praises enough. This was the first time that I have used Zoom and I really hope that the Council carry on using it as a means of training foster carers and other professionals. Scott’s friendly and outgoing approach really came across and it definitely set the tone for a very relaxed training session. Fantastic :)"

Adult Trauma-Informed Approaches

Adult Trauma-Informed Approaches (TIA) are a framework for interpersonal service delivery and organizational change that is grounded in the understanding of how trauma should be viewed as a psychosocial injury and can impact an individual’s life, health, and sense of self.

The key principles are:

  • A fundamental shift in perspective from asking, “What is wrong with you?” to asking, “What has happened to you?”
  • Acknowledgement of the widespread impact of trauma and understanding potential paths for recovery.
  • Recognition that mental health difficulties and challenges with social skills often develop in response to a person’s life experiences, including traumatic and adverse events.
  • Our goal is to support individuals in understanding the connection between their life experiences and current challenges, helping them find effective ways to cope, move forward, and recover.

PACE and TIA for Adults

PACE serves as a relational tool that operationalizes the core principles of a trauma-informed approach:

  1. Creating Safety and Trust: The Acceptance and Empathy elements of PACE directly address the trauma survivor’s need to feel safe and seen without judgment, helping to rebuild trust that was likely violated by trauma.
  2. Empowerment and Voice: Curiosity invites the adult to explore their own internal experience, giving them the choice and control over what they share, and fostering empowerment.
  3. Healing Shame: The non-judgmental stance inherent in Acceptance and Empathycounters the intense feelings of shame often experienced by trauma survivors, replacing them with a sense of worthiness and unconditional regard.

By embedding the PACE mindset “way of being” into interactions, professionals can offer an adult a corrective and secure relational experience, which is crucial for regulating intense emotions and processing trauma.

Start with the Foundations in Trauma-Informed Approaches training, then move through the four PACE in Practice modules. Completing all five modules is crucial for implementing meaningful practice improvements and fully integrating PACE into your community.
