The Trauma-Informed Wales: Mapping and Gapping project identifies trauma-informed training providers that are available in Wales, which may support the implementation of the Trauma-Informed Wales Framework. It considers how they map across to the Framework focusing on the practice levels.
The Wales Trauma-Informed Practice Framework has four defined practice levels. The levels describe the different roles that people may have within a variety of contexts and represent a spectrum rather than a hierarchy.
Trauma-aware is a universal approach that emphasises the role that we all have as members of Welsh society, personally and professionally, and seeks to raise awareness and understanding. It challenges perceptions that maintain oppression and inequality, and highlights that people in all communities have a role to play in preventing ACEs, adversity and traumatic events, providing community-led responses to the impact of ACEs and trauma, and supporting resilience through connection, inclusion and compassion.
Learn MoreA trauma-skilled approach is embedded within the practice of everyone who provides care or support to people who may have experienced trauma, whether or not the trauma is known about. This applies to most organisations and services in Wales, and many working in and with the community.
Learn MoreA trauma-enhanced approach is used by frontline workers who are providing direct or intensive support to people who are known to have experienced traumatic events within their role, and encompasses ways of working to help people to cope with the impact of their trauma.
Learn MoreSpecialist interventions may be formal personalised and co-produced interventions that are offered within a range of settings, or specialist input to support organisations and systems to be trauma informed.
