The relationship between trauma and addiction is complex, and without the necessary support, trying to understand the relationship between the two can be overwhelming. If someone has experienced traumatic events, they are significantly more likely to develop an alcohol or substance use disorder. For instance, studies have found that substance use developed following trauma exposure (25% – 76%) or the onset of PTSD ( 4% – 59%) in a high proportion of teens with substance use disorder. This is because individuals may turn to substances or unhealthy behaviors as a coping mechanism to numb emotional pain or escape distressing memories. If you feel that you could be suffering from any of these conditions or even just want to learn more about trauma or addiction, our team of experts is here to provide guidance and support. Know that you don't have to undergo these challenges alone.

In our 12 step introduction classes, we teach the fundamental principles of the 12 step philosophy that lead to the creation of tens of thousands of AA and NA support groups all over the world. Essentially, the 12-step doctrine believes that emphasis should be placed on personal accountability. Acceptance of powerlessness in order to stop unhealthy addictive behaviors, along with the need to build a strong sober community for support are also important 12 step concepts. Join us in embracing the transformative power of evidence-based 12-Step Therapy. Each step is a testament to your resilience, and every shared moment reinforces the strength of community in recovery. 💪💙 #12StepTherapy #EvidenceBasedRecovery #JourneyToHealing #CommunitySupport soberlivinghouse #newdawntreatmentcenters #recoveringalcholic #recoveringaddict #sobermotivation #mindfulliving #residentialalcoholrehab #residentialdrugrehab #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthawareness #sobriety #recoveryispossible #drugrehab #luxuryrehab #addictionrecovery #alcoholaddiction #drugaddiction #alcoholic #sobermovement #soberjourney #soberinspiration #sobersupport #alcoholrehab

🧐You may have noticed, we have changed the term we use for our training from Cultural Safety to Culturally Aligned - and you might be wandering why!💬 💡When Anna and I started to develop this, our goal was to help professionals offer safer care which is why we termed it 'safe'. However that's the outcome and through my reflection, we can't offer safe care unless we are aligned with the needs of the communities we are caring for. Just like we now look at whether we offer trauma informed practice, we also now need to look at culturally aligned. 👉There are some other terms we also considered but they didn't sound right: 🧩Cultural competency indicates that offering equitable care is a skill, which it is definitely not. It is also implies that there is set goal, a box that needs to be ticked whereas Cultural Alignment is about continual growth and reflection. 🧩Culturally informed and appropriate are both great starting points but again, it indicates that knowledge is sufficient rather than reflective professional development. 🧩Culturally inclusive is something we considered, but it focuses on including the 'other' rather than changing practice at the core. We should be working beyond inclusivity by meeting the needs of families as a basic standard. 🧡We believe that Culturally Aligned Practice best represents the process to continuously offer safer and more equitable care by responding to the needs of the families your caring for.

How can we ensure that our services, policies and procedures are set up to avoid harm? New open access resources explore innovation in response to extra-familial risks. The videos share developing findings from the Innovate Project and focus on supporting innovation work in children’s social care. Alongside the resources, a new video with Dr Karen Treisman looks at the steps we can take to ensure our organisations become trauma reducing instead of trauma inducing.

Duncan Fri 23rd Feb 2024 - 1530 - 1700 - Live and interactive on Zoom £30 plus vat   Some therapists achieve significantly better outcomes than their peers, even using the same model in the same setting.
