Trauma Informed Parenting
At Trauma Informed Parenting, we support parents, carers, educators, and professionals working with children who display challenging behaviours due to trauma or additional needs. Our goal is to help them apply a trauma-informed approach.
Founded by Suzanne Scott, T.I.P. was inspired by the Bryan Post stress model. When Suzanne applied this model with her own children—one of whom is neurodivergent—and in her role as a foster carer, she saw firsthand the difference a trauma-informed approach could make. Suzanne and her husband Steven became passionate about sharing this with others. In the workshops, Suzanne shares her own lived experience.
By applying a trauma-informed approach, we help adults understand behaviour through a lens of curiosity, calm, and connection. T.I.P.'s aim is to improve mental health, strengthen relationships, and break generational patterns of dysfunctional parenting.
