As a grassroots organisation made up of and guided by our members, our staff act as stewards, facilitating, coordinating and promoting trauma-informed practice on the Network’s behalf. Together, we are committed to building a more compassionate, trauma-informed Plymouth.
After the joy of a career as an educator for twenty-seven years across all phases, I have had the privilege of co-ordinating the Trauma Informed Plymouth Network since May 2024.
I am passionate about the vision and values of the Network and have been involved since its earliest days. I feel moved by the influence it has had in inspiring the aspiration of the city to become a kinder, more compassionate community, using the trauma lens to guide and inform its decision making.
I have professional and lived experience as an adopter of why this shift is so crucial to the health and happiness of our community, and I feel so privileged to be able to be a part of the Network’s journey, building on the foundations laid since its inception.
I oversee our co-ordination and project support work across Monday–Thursday. Contact me at info@tipn.org if you want to explore the strategic role of the Network, supporting organisational culture change, the endeavours of the branches, branch leadership, workforce development, co-production collaborations, and representing the Trauma Informed Plymouth Network at local and national events.
Our ambition is for Plymouth to be a trauma-informed city. Our independent network is open to anyone connected with Plymouth with a desire to learn about and promote trauma informed ways of being. You too can join our Network and help Plymouth become a safer and kinder place, where the impact of trauma and adversity is both recognised and responded to with sensitivity and compassion.
