About this event

Many people who struggle with mental health issues have experienced childhood abuse and other forms of complex trauma. As well as more commonly understood types of mental health difficulties, many also show signs of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD), personality disorders, and dissociative disorders.

This course, for professionals and others working with survivors, will enable participants to understand the particular challenges faced by people who have experienced complex trauma, and to find ways of supporting survivors on their journey of recovery.

Topics covered will include:
- Identifying complex trauma
- The impact of childhood abuse
- Understanding dissociation
- Complex trauma & attachment
- Models of ‘the Traumatised Self’
- A framework for recovery

The course consists of 4 x Thursday morning online sessions, during October 2024:

3rd Oct 2024 - 9:30am - 1pm

17th Oct 2024 - 9:30am - 1pm
