12 May 2026

A new peer-reviewed article has been published in Child Abuse Review, using a residential care case study to illustrate how the TARA Practice Model guides collaborative, attuned and resilience-focused responses to complex trauma. Key learnings highlight mentalising development, the role of the physical environment and the importance of reflective supervision in sustaining trauma-informed cultures.

The study, titled "Understanding the Experience of Trauma: Insights From the TARA Practice Model", is authored by Maria Lotty, Maura O'Donoghue, Laura O'Halloran, and Aoife Price and appears in Child Abuse Review, Volume 35, Issue 3 (Article e70130), available at: https://doi.org/10.1002/car.70130
