Beacon House is passionate about developing freely available resources so that knowledge about the healing of trauma and adversity is in the hands of those who need it.
Please feel free to use our resources in your home or work setting. All we ask is that you credit our team for the information and design using this credit: Image or information courtesy of Beacon House Therapeutic Services & Trauma Team | 2024 | www.beaconhouse.org.uk
If you have any questions or feedback about our resources then please email our designer – we’d love to hear from you.
Animation: The Repair of Early Trauma: A Bottom Up Approach Told to us through the voices of children, this unique animation teaches us that by putting together the seven-piece jigsaw puzzle of ‘Developmental Trauma’ we can repair it using the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics.
Animation: The Window of Tolerance Find out how a traumatised child swings from fight/flight to freeze/collapse and what adults can do to help bring the child back into their window of tolerance so they can be at their personal best.
Animation: James’ story – a story about how a childhood of trauma and adversity led James to feel despair, loneliness and rage. Walk with James through his pain to a new chapter in his life where he begins to heal, and create a new and hopeful future. James’ story and the images you’ll see may trigger powerful feelings, so look after yourself as you walk by his side.
