TRIBE Trauma Informed Care
Tinsel, Triggers & Tantrums
“Navigating Trauma At Christmas — With Trauma-Informed Care.”
Christmas is meant to be magical — but for many families, it’s anything but calm. The sights, sounds, and sudden changes that come with the festive season can turn joy into overwhelm, especially for children who’ve experienced trauma. You want Christmas to feel special, connected, and full of happy memories — but instead, you might find yourself walking on eggshells, managing meltdowns, or wondering why your child seems more unsettled than usual.
Tinsel, Triggers & Tantrums is this months Deep Dive to help you make sense of the chaos. Together, we’ll explore why the festive period can be so challenging and how to navigate it with understanding, empathy, and practical trauma-informed strategies — so your family can experience more connection and less stress this Christmas.
Join parenting experts Laura Neal and Rachel Evans for this special Deep Dive, where you’ll discover ways to reduce triggers, respond calmly, and bring back the warmth and meaning that the season should hold for every family.

Tinsel, Triggers & Tantrums
Tinsel, Triggers & Tantrums is part of our TRIBE Deep Dive monthly series — dedicated sessions where experts from the TRIBE team take a closer look at a topic they’re passionate about, with one clear goal: to give parents and carers the tools they need to feel more confident, connected, and supported. This month’s Deep Dive explores the emotional highs and lows of Christmas — a season that can be magical for some, but overwhelming and triggering for others.
Hosted by Laura Neal, who brings a wealth of expertise in trauma, attachment, parenting teens, and behavioural science, alongside Rachel Evans, whose background in early years intervention, evidence-based practice, and hands-on family support brings warmth and practicality to every session, this Deep Dive combines professional insight with real-life solutions. Together, they’ll help you understand why Christmas can be particularly challenging for trauma-affected children and how you can navigate it with empathy, calm, and connection.
