NOVAS TIP Seminar shines light on the positive impact of trauma informed practice
On Friday 25th of October, NOVAS held its inaugural Seminar in Trauma Informed Practice. The event was opened by keynote speaker, Dr. Katriona O Sullivan, who gave insight into her experience of significant and enduring adverse childhood experiences and the importance of services to respond appropriately, to create opportunities and equity for people on the margins.
There was a range of speakers throughout the day with expertise in a variety of fields including housing and homelessness, addiction, migration, health inclusion and brain development. Speakers with lived experience, frontline roles and academic research shared their knowledge, compassion and experiences across the social and human sectors.
The conference was kindly hosted by Gardens International, a beautiful city centre location in Limerick. It provided a wonderful opportunity to learn, share knowledge and transfer good practice across sectors.
