About the Facilitator: 

I’m Amanda Chalmers and I’m currently working on a Changing Futures project to implement trauma informed practice into adult services in South Tees.

Previously I have worked in local prisons and custody settings, supporting people who have multiple disadvantages and have ended up in the criminal justice system due to the lifestyles they lead, which are normally as a result of what has happened to them e.g trauma.

I have many ‘tools’ to use to help those who hold trauma such as: auricular acupuncture, integral eye movement therapy, Oldpain2GO and Havening to name a few. As I have a background in psychology, I love to talk about trauma and the brain to help people understand their own behaviours and alleviate guilt and shame.
