From Fostering Change: “Peer support and collaboration are central to a trauma-informed approach to building social resilience. But many services that claim to be working to build resilience are erecting barriers to peopleâs recovery. Â
We need to rethink specialist services, to be more socially focused in their view of trauma and resilience. We need greater trust and collaboration between specialists and communities; more emphasis placed on the value of peer-peer and friendship-based support and a more complete and rounded view of where we get our resilience from.
Itâs more than a skill that you can teach yourself.”
