Mr. Jim Doherty:

If I was asked to characterise our whole approach to this issue over the last 20 years in two lines, I would say that we have had a psychological approach where we look at the individual. While in later years we have been better at looking at the things around the individual, we were reluctant to take a sociological approach where we look much more at the community in which the individual lives. Ms Bairéad referred to a health approach. We need to add to the idea of adverse childhood the idea of adverse community experiences, because we work in unhealthy communities, not just with unhealthy people.
