I know Davina. I grew up with her and I have family members who are in the same situation. I am well aware of the story. I know that a different name is being used to protect her identity but it is very common. I worked in front-line addiction services in drop-in centres. It is a fine line to be trained to try to assist people where they are, not where you think they should be, and to do so without being intrusive. This was explained very well in Davina's story. Ms Kearney also mentioned the importance of being not only trauma-informed but also trauma-responsive. What would that look like as a model?
