Challenging experiences and trauma are part of our shared human reality. Whenever we work with people, we are in contact with their histories – whether visible or not. To be trauma-informed is to understand how trauma shapes nervous systems, relationships, and communities, and to take responsibility for creating spaces that support safety, dignity, and belonging. This conversation explores practical foundations for working alongside others in ways that are humane, relational, and grounded.

Trauma-informed practice goes beyond empathy. It recognises how trauma influences individuals and the systems around them, and invites a shift towards more human-centred, equity-driven environments. Becoming trauma-informed is a paradigm change – seeing people in their full complexity and offering choice, empowerment, and relational integrity in our work. This discussion highlights what that can look like in your own spaces, through your practice and your presence. The session is led by Kirsten Wilkinson, a somatic practitioner and educator with over three decades of experience working at the intersection of movement, trauma, and community-based healing.
