In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we explore one of the core truths of trauma-informed care — every behaviour has a reason. We dive into why children who’ve experienced trauma may show behaviours that seem challenging, confusing, or even extreme, and how these actions often reflect unmet needs, fear, or survival responses. Join us as we unpack the science, share real-life examples, and talk about how understanding the why behind behaviour can transform the way we care, connect, and respond.

This week is national adoption week so we are talking about trauma informed care and adoption in the TRIBE Talk podcast. We discuss adoption, therapy and the impact of adoption support fund cuts.

In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we dive into complex trauma — what it really means, how it differs from single-event trauma, and what it looks like in the lives of children. Through a real-life case example, we explore how trauma shapes development, behaviour, attachment, and many areas of a child's life.

In this episode of TRIBE Talk, Laura and Rachel unpack what makes the TRIBE Trauma-Informed Care model unique. We explore the five key components that form the foundation of the TRIBE Trauma Framework and how they work together to create real, lasting change for children who have experienced trauma.

You’ll hear how TRIBE maps support sequentially—meeting each child where they are developmentally, emotionally, and behaviourally—to guide healing, growth, and connection. Whether you’re new to trauma-informed care or already practising it, this episode will help you see how structure and science can sit beautifully alongside compassion and care.

In our very first episode, Laura shares the story of how TRIBE came to life. She talks about her early career as a social worker and how witnessing the struggles of children and families shaped her vision for something different—something better. Out of that vision, The Behaviour Clinic was founded, built on the belief that children who have experienced trauma deserve care that is both compassionate and evidence-based.

Laura reflects on the early days of setting up the clinic and how the team has grown into a diverse group of professionals, each bringing unique expertise. Together, this collective knowledge and passion laid the foundations for TRIBE—our trauma-informed model underpinned by behavioural science and attachment theory, that now guides how we support children, families, and carers every day.

This episode is about recognising a gap, responding with determination, and building something that could change the way trauma-informed care is delivered.
