Trauma & Recovery Awareness 

Posted on: October 14, 2025

Trauma isn’t always visible, but it can change how someone thinks, feels and acts. Understanding trauma can help us make sure people feel safe and supported.

If you work in a helping profession (like health care, mental health, emergency services, education or youth services), or you simply want to be more trauma-informed, don’t miss Mind in West Essex‘s upcoming workshop.

Trauma & Recovery Awareness helps you understand brain development and how this impacts behaviour and life chances. Topics include:

💙 The impact of trauma
💙 Toxic stress and adverse childhood experiences
💙 Neuroscience research in relation to trauma
💙 Working in a trauma-informed way
💙 How vicarious trauma affects us and those around us
💙 Practical resources for self care for ourselves and those we support.

📅 Tuesday 21st October, 9.30am-12.30pm
📍 Great Dunmow, CM6 1DQ
👉 Register today – only a few places left! https://mentalhealthtraining.org.uk/event/trauma-recovery-awareness211025/
