What we do
TIGER stands for Trauma Informed Growth and Empowered Recovery; Barnardo’s unique evidence-informed and evaluated trauma-informed approach.
As a pan London service, we support children, young people and their families where there are concerns around child sexual abuse and exploitation, harmful sexual behaviours, and domestic abuse.
The approach is designed to provide children and young people with the narrative to understand and express their experiences and coach them to recovery through empathetic listening, emotional regulation, positive psychology and personal goal-setting. We also work alongside safe primary caregivers to support the child to recovery.
