TRIBE © is The Behaviour Clinic’s flagship model of trauma-informed care. Designed by our team of therapists and behaviour analysts, TRIBE brings together behavioural science, attachment theory, and evidence-based therapies into a single, practical framework. TRIBE is a comprehensive model that underpins all of our work. It combines: Assessment, Mapping, Developing Trauma Informed Care Knowledge, Core Practices & Individualised Intervention.

We believe that the first step to providing the right support is to understand each child and family’s unique needs. We offer a range of standardised assessments that provide clear, evidence-based insights, but we also recognise that no two families are the same. That’s why our experienced practitioners can design and deliver bespoke assessments, tailored specifically to the circumstances of the child or family.

Our assessments can be used to support court proceedings, care planning, and wider decision-making, ensuring that professionals and families have the best possible understanding to guide next steps. Whether standard or customised, every assessment is carried out with care ​and expertise, forming the foundation for an effective plan of support.

We offer a wide range of evidence-informed therapies to support children who have experienced trauma, developmental challenges, or emotional and behavioural difficulties. Each therapy is designed to meet different needs and can be combined with other forms of support as part of a ​holistic plan. A few of the therapies we provide are: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Behaviour Therapies, Integrative Play Therapy, Therapeutic Life Story Work. All therapies are mapped into the TRIBE framework creating a clear plan for each child.

Our parent & school support is provided through TRIBE Trauma Informed Care Consultations. Our consultations provide in-home or in-school support for children with complex needs, including behavioural difficulties, attachment challenges, and psychological concerns such as self-harm.

Each consultation begins with a formulation of the child’s needs and difficulties, identifying priorities and exploring the function—the “why”—behind what is happening. From here, we ​design effective, individualised interventions tailored to the child and family.

The Behaviour Clinic is home to the creators of the Five Approaches to Life Story Work which is published in the British Journal of Social Work (Neal & Matthews, 2024).

Using the Five Approaches our Life Story Work service offers training to parents, carers and practitioners, and direct Life Story support to children and young people. You can find out more about the five approaches on our Life Story Work website www.lifestorywork.com.
