We’re excited to share that Dr Warren Larkin is launching a new video series offering honest, evidence-based reflections on trauma, adversity, and resilience. Warren felt it was time to bring clarity and balance — drawing on nearly 30 years of experience working with people affected by trauma.

After reading a few unhelpful articles about trauma, I’ve decided to share a short video series — honest reflections drawn from 30 years of experience, science, and practice. Let’s talk about #trauma with compassion, sensitivity, and balance. #TraumaInformed #Resilience x.com/warren_larki...
Dr Warren Larkin on X: "I hope you’re all having a positive start to the week 👋 This morning, while out for a walk, I was reflecting on a couple of articles I read about trauma and they that were quite negative, contained myths, inaccuracies, and not-so-helpful messages.

A new international survey shows most #ECT patients report long-term #memoryloss — with many experiencing it for over 3 years.
This calls for greater awareness, assessment, & support. 💙

The challenge is great, but so is our collective power. If we want future generations to thrive, the time to act is now.

What would prevention-first systems look like in your area of work?

Even in the toughest times, optimism can be a powerful anchor. Adversity may test us, but it also offers the chance to discover resilience, hope, and new ways forward.

There is a need for the focus to be on what helps children tell rather than what hinders children telling.👍https://warrenlarkinassociates.co.uk/

How much does our environment shape who we become — and how far we can go? How trauma can disrupt learning, confidence, and behaviour — and why systems that fail to recognise this often perpetuate harm rather than offer healing.

Though written 17 years ago, Warren’s article highlights a truth that remains just as important now as it was then.👇

Just came across an article I wrote for the @theguardian.com 17 years ago, around the time our book was published. The language may have shifted since then, but the core message still stands: a call for more trauma-informed, person-centred mental health care. Enjoy ☺️

A cross-government task force is needed to develop a national strategy, focusing on early intervention, reducing health inequalities from birth, and building a trauma-informed workforce.✅https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/719451 #TraumaInformed #TIC #PublicHealth #Policy #EquitableSystems
Petition: Create a trauma-informed task force to develop a strategy to address trauma
We think trauma is an unaddressed public health issue, with no nationwide strategy to address it. We feel a coordinated, cross-sector, trauma-informed response is essential. We urge the Government to develop a trauma-informed taskforce to create a more compassionate, effective, equitable system.

Important study👇Physical and verbal chastisement of children should not be confused with discipline. Discipline is about conveying learning and that has to happen in the context of a safe trusting relationship. t.co/ki8Puu1HOG
