Four Pillars of Trauma & Violence Informed Care in Coaching
Trauma and Violence Informed Care (TVIC) operates from the understanding that trauma and experiences with violence are prevalent, individually unique, a response not a condition and contextualizes trauma within the larger human experience. The goal of TVIC is to reduce the risk of re-traumatization within the care provided.
TrustRecognizes trust as the foundation of healing and collaboration. Creates and maintains safe, trust-worthy relationships that are dependable, genuine, and earned. Operates knowing that trust is both necessary and healing unto itself. Choice & VoiceEnsures that one's voice, opinions, needs, and decisions are heard and recognized. Seeks to create endless opportunities for the coachee to have choice and control over one's life. |
CollaborationDedicates time and effort to ensuring and maintaining, safe, equal power-dynamics between the coach and the coachee. Dedicated to co-creation, partnership, connection, and collaboration rather than hierarchical, authority-based structuring. EmpowermentStrength-based approaches contextualize symptoms as necessary adaptions made to protect oneself. Encourages self-efficacy and the active creation of one's life. |
About Mallory Woods Youth Coaching
|
Mallory Woods Youth Coaching, formerly Into the Woods Coaching, was born out of the frustration and heartbreak of watching youth feel perpetually misunderstood by the people who were designated to help them. This is why Mallory Woods Youth Coaching is unshakably rooted in connection, trust and collaboration.
Mallory feels that tailoring each individual coaching model to the need of the youth is necessary for effective coaching and asks that if you have any specific accommodations or requests which would make the coaching process more feasible or comfortable, you don’t hesitate to email them at Mwoods@youthcoaching.ca. |
