Trauma | Resonance | Resilience

We explore how stigma sticks to children when they are moved out of mainstream schooling and into alternative provision and how that shift can turn a young person into a visible “case” for the system to manage. We connect Goffman’s stigma theory with liminality, class and digital life, asking what it means to be a student when the ideal pupil is the only one the system truly recognises.
What alternative provision means and how it differs from PRUs
How exclusion creates a liminal identity between being and becoming
Why AP is politically contested as either opportunity or segregation
How stigma becomes visible and fixed through labels and paperwork
The role of disciplinary language such as ‘at risk’ and ‘hard to reach’
How blame often lands on the child and the mother
Why critical theory still matters for understanding structures
Whose voices are missing in AP research and practice
Working class boys and the stereotype of the ‘angry’ young man
Class as rational decision-making under risk and limited opportunity
The digital space as a new frontier for stigma and cultural capital

Join Dr Lisa Cherry in conversation with Betsy de Thiery about why vague trauma language creates real harm, from shallow training to rising shame for people living with complex trauma. We argue for clearer definitions, better role boundaries in services and a return to community and connection as the foundation for recovery.

Join Dr Lisa Cherry and Dr Cathy Malchiodi, expressive arts therapist,  challenge the idea that trauma-informed practice is a set of tools you can apply without relationship, culture and context. They explore how the arts can restore joy and capacity when the world feels stuck in long-haul distress, distraction and performative “quick fixes”.

Join Dr Lisa Cherry in conversation with psychotherapist Graham Music about why trauma-informed practice cannot be reduced to training badges or compliance, and how real trauma work demands presence, humility and emotional stamina. We explore how helpers can stay close to pain without shutting down, over-identifying, or turning hope into a shallow performance.
