Tackling Trauma

 

............

  

Welcome! These pages are to support children, young people and adults who have experienced trauma which will promote recovery.

.

We have included support for the families who are supporting those people precious to you who have experienced trauma. Additionally, we have also included a page for professionals such as teachers and social workers who would benefit from an understanding of trauma and how to help beneficiaries.

 

Trauma is commonly defined as exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation (DSM-V, APA, 2013)

 

Recovery from Trauma is moving from the Victim to the Survivor.

 

“In the middle of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer”

Albert Camus

 

The following pages provides access to resources which will develop and promote a person’s own internal resilience in order to overcome the trauma and thrive in their future life.

 

For children, we have provided a page whereby parents/carers can help them navigate through a journey of recovery.

 

We have provided differing pages to support you. Some are informative and some are resources to support you in your journey from experiencing trauma to that of resilience, personal growth, and healing.
