The model above illustrates how trauma responses can create a wall that gets in the way of development, progress, connection, and belonging. The impact of this resonates at the individual level, all the way through families, communities, societies, and international relationships and endeavours.

Beyond the Trauma Wall is an initiative that looks for ways of addressing what creates the ‘trauma wall’ and gradually – and gently – breaking it down. More information about the trauma wall, the backgrounds, plans, and developing understandings and achievements can be found across the different pages, and particularly in the blogs on this website. The blogs will cover a wide range of topics varying from the macro-level look at how trauma impacts societal systems and dynamics to very practical actions that can help us move beyond the trauma wall.

There is an answer, a solution, are you willing to hear and consider it? The concrete start I am making, is within the field I have been working in for almost two decades now: child protection.
