This spotlight report highlights the fantastic work of Gwent Drug and Alcohol Service (GDAS) in implementing the Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (TrACE) - informed Organisational Toolkit. As a consortium organisation, GDAS provide substance use support across Gwent and this spotlight highlights this journey, focussing on their vision, their approach to embedding the TrACE - informed Organisational Toolkit and how the Toolkit has assisted them to make positive changes in their commitment to becoming a TrACE - informed organisation.
GDAS are committed to applying a trauma-informed lens in all areas of their work and this spotlight can be used as a helpful resource for all organisations embarking on their TrACE journey.
