TRIBE Talk

Welcome to TRIBE Talk, the podcast where we talk trauma-informed care. Hosted by Laura Neal and Rachel Evans, from The Behaviour Therapy Clinic, the creators of the TRIBE model of Trauma Informed Care. Each episode explores real stories, practical strategies, and the science behind supporting children, families, and carers through adversity.

We dive into the challenges of parenting and caring for children impacted by trauma, share insights from behavioural science and therapy, and offer practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you’re a foster carer, adoptive parent, social worker, educator, or therapist, TRIBE Talk is here to help you turn trauma theory into trauma-informed practice.

Join us for compassionate conversations, expert advice, and a dose of inspiration—because every child deserves care that heals.
