Dr Nicola Green
CLINICAL LEAD - CAMHS AND ADULT EATING DISORDER HUMBER AND NORTH YORKSHIRE PROVIDER COLLABORATIVE
Dr. Nicola Green is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of experience working in CAMHS community and inpatient services and is passionate about trauma informed care. Nicola has been working to bring trauma informed practice into CAMHS services using the ARC framework since 2019. Nicola worked to develop the clinical model for the Inspire CAMHS adolescent inpatient service in Hull (opened Jan 2020), incorporating ARC to inform the philosophy of care and ethos on the unit and to support a move away from the more traditional diagnostic medical model. The ARC framework is now being used across the wider CAMHS system in Hull and East Yorkshire and as part of regional work to develop and embed a consistent trauma informed approach across Humber and North Yorkshire partners working with vulnerable children and young people at risk of offending.
Nicola continues to promote trauma informed practice in her current role as Clinical Lead for the Humber and North Yorkshire provider collaborative for CAMHS and Adult Eating Disorders (AED) inpatient care. Nicola provides clinical leadership for the CAMHS and AED inpatient providers within the collaborative, working closely with clinicians and teams to promote a consistent and coordinated approach to clinical work across the whole CAMHS and AED pathway in the Humber and North Yorkshire region. Nicola also works clinically one day a week in the community CAMHS ED service in North East Lincolnshire provided by NAViGO CIC.
Workshop Two - Kati Taunt & Panelists: Nichola Green, Mark Maidens, Sophie Mulvana - The Driving and Restraining forces relating to the Implementation of Trauma-Informed Practice in a variety of settings using the ARC Framework
This workshop will provide an overview of the well respected and evidence-based approach to
working with developmental trauma that is the ARC Framework (Attachment, Regulation and Competence).
A panel of experienced professionals from 3 different contexts (adolescent psychiatric in-patient services,
specialist education provision for primary aged children and social care secure unit) will share their reasons
for choosing to become trauma-informed, what drew them to the ARC framework. The panel will also share
their experiences of the driving forces to implementation and restraining forces within their contexts and
wider systems that needed to be undone to enable this.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Will have an understanding of The ARC framework and how it supports children and families to get back on
track and integrate their experiences of trauma.
2. Will have gained insight as to how the model can be adapted for a variety of educational, social care and
health settings.
3. Will have been able to understand the nature of driving and restraining forces in relation to implementing
Trauma-Informed Practice in a variety of settings
4. Will have knowledge of how some restraining forces can be undone.
