Manchester City Council & Public Health Team Champion Trauma Informed Support in Early Help Teams
Manchester City Council and the Public Health Team have taken a transformative step to better support children and families facing complex challenges. Seven Early Help practitioners have become Healing Together facilitators.
This initiative equips the team with evidence-based training, valuable resources, and ongoing support to address the deep-rooted effects of trauma. By investing in their workforce, the Early Help teams are strengthening their impact and ensuring families receive the best possible care. The real success lies in the profound shift in practice.
