Trauma Informed Practice and The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics

Family Life’s core business has always involved working with traumatised children, families and communities. Family Life places Trauma Informed Practice (TIP) at the core of it’s organisational strategy. TIP focuses on the implications of trauma on the individual, those around them and the systems and services with which they come into contact and is central to Family Life’s activities, as well as our core principles and values. Family Life’s commitment to TIP has transformed its service delivery across all levels of the organisation. At the practitioner level, it leads to client empowerment and development whilst at the organisational level, it is a launchpad for innovation and growth.

Family Life also has practitioners and facilitators trained in The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT). Developed by child psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Bruce Perry, NMT explores the effects of trauma on children at key stages of childhood brain development – from pre-conception, pregnancy and birth all the way to adolescence. Understanding adverse events that occur at specific periods of a child’s brain development produces a complete picture of their challenges and developmental risk factors – and ultimately helps to identify the best forms of intervention to support them.
