Our quarterly online research forum, facilitated by Homeless Link’s research team, is for anyone involved in conducting research around homelessness. The Forum aims to create opportunities for joint learning and discussion, particularly in ways that lead to practical insights that can be directly applied to participants' work in the homelessness and adjacent sectors and help develop our practice. This is also a space for people to connect and support each other. This year, the theme of the research forum is Lived Experience.
This session marks the first in our new series, and will explore what it means to conduct research in a trauma informed or strengths based context with people experiencing homelessness.
Trauma-informed practise is an approach which can be adopted by researchers and services in order to improve awareness of trauma and its impact. By becoming trauma-informed, homelessness researchers can create a more supportive and empowering environment for service users or when working with those who may have experience of feeling unheard or unsafe in the past.
In this session we’ll hear from practitioners and researchers who will share and discuss their experience of ‘doing’ trauma informed research, and some of the grounded theory behind such approaches, i.e. why a trauma-informed approach matters and considerations for how to implement this in your work.
