TICA 2023 Conference
On the 3rd May 2023, the National Trauma Informed Community Conference took place in St James Park, Newcastle upon Tyne.
​
This face to face event offered a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together. This allowed members of our community to network and share good practice.
​
Here is an example of just some of the things that were discussed at the conference:
-
Narratives of mental health and lived experience creativity.
-
Research evidence for implementing trauma-informed healthcare in the UK.
-
Healthy Happy Places - Urban design as a place based approach to community health and wellbeing.
-
Trauma Informed Research Principles.
-
Restoring the resilience to Groups of Healthcare staff during the cumulative traumatic experiences of Covid-19.
-
And more!

Watch the Conference Highlights:
2019 Summit
The Northern England Clinical Networks and the
North East and North Cumbria Academic Health
Science Network hosted an event in Durham in
March 2019 aimed at capturing the experience
and wisdom of those innovators and early
adopters in the UK. They worked with support from
Northumbria University, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys
NHS Foundation Trust, and John Lawlor, Chair of
the Mental Health Steering Group of the Integrated
Care System for the North East and North
Cumbria, to co-create a community, resources
and a summary document to guide further
developments.
It was a privilege to hear about such great examples from people brave enough
to be noticing and addressing a stark reality about
the nature of mental health and our historical
response to it.
