It is imperative in care and recovery that traumatic events be followed and supported through Post Trauma Growth PTG and moreover Post Suicide Growth PSG. Yes, it is a sacred space of moral injury and soul woundedness that merits professional and peer support. I know the value of PTSD, PTG, and PSG. Every voice of lived experience is invaluable/ priceless. #Suicideprevention #peersupport #livedexperience #PTG #PSG #TramaInformed #TBRI
Someone recently asked if the Lived Experience Academy uses a trauma-informed lens. It prompted me to write an article about Trauma-informed Growth. Here's an excerpt, but you can read the whole article at the Academy website. "We embrace a trauma-informed lens but note that there is more to life than recovering health. There is more to our story than attaining the clinical goals that comprise suicide prevention and Trauma-informed Care. Thus, our primary interest is Trauma-informed Growth. When the response to trauma shifts to focusing on what comes after recovery, that enters the domain of Post-Traumatic Growth. When we focus on what comes after recovery related to suicide, we enter the domain of Post-Suicidal Growth." https://livedexp.academy #PTG #posttraumaticgrowth #Postsuicidalgrowth #PSG #trauma #traumainformedcare #PTSD
