Deakin University, Melbourne Research in the Rose Model of TLSW 2022
“The research has shown us that TLSW strengthens the
attachment of a child to a primary care giver, which then
supports improvement in peer relationships, education
outcomes, reduction in trauma symptoms experienced,
reduction of high risk behaviours, improves mental health
and wellbeing and overall, a greater sense of identity”
Dr James Lucas 2022
