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.

How Adults Can Work Together to Support Traumatised Children| #TRIBE Talk - Ep. 21

In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we explore what truly makes a difference for children who have experienced trauma: adults working together with clarity, consistency, and shared understanding. When carers, teachers, therapists, and social workers operate in silos, children often experience mixed messages and inconsistent responses. But when adults align around shared principles and coordinated strategies, outcomes improve significantly.
This conversation focuses on practical collaboration, how to reduce fragmentation, strengthen communication, and create joined-up, trauma-informed systems around the child. We discuss why consistency builds safety, how professional disagreements can impact children, and what it takes to move from parallel working to purposeful partnership.
