"The Three Pillars of Transforming Trauma and Resilience in the Other 23 Hours" book was written for those who live or work with children and young people who have been exposed to severe adversity and trauma. It provides a summary of recent research and clinical wisdom then explores the three core trauma-related needs of these vulnerable young people and what we most need to do to promote healing and growth. Illustrated throughout by the voices of children and young people who have experienced trauma, the Three Pillars stresses the importance of supportive and informed interactions in the ‘lifespace’, where young people live, work and play, rather than a reliance on formal therapies and treatment.
This book clearly outlines brain theory and research on what happens to a person during and after trauma. It explains the 3 pillar model in detail. It offers some practical suggestions but is a bit more on the theory of understanding how trauma and the healing process work. Highly recommend this to inform anyone working or living with trauma affected people.
