Webinar: Power and Control: Challenges in Implementing Trauma-Informed Approaches with Youth
This presentation explores the practical and systemic challenges involved in implementing trauma-informed approaches (TIAs) in youth settings and draws on findings from doctoral research conducted in residential care settings with youth. While practitioners implementing TIAs seek to fundamentally transform the ways in which we support youth, their efforts are hindered by the persistence of compliance-focused practices, coercive responses in times of crisis, and ongoing difficulties in addressing power dynamics.

The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
