Send us Fan MailIn this episode of TRIBE Talk, we explore one of the most important shifts in trauma-informed care: learning to see behaviour as communication. For children who have experienced trauma, behaviour is often the language through which distress, fear, confusion, or unmet needs are expressed. What may appear as defiance, withdrawal, aggression, or avoidance is often a signal about what the child is experiencing internally.This conversation focuses on how adults can move beyond surface behaviour to understand the meaning underneath it.
