How do we support children and young people when the threat in their lives remains present? Join speakers Dr Ron Dodzro, Prof. Alastair Black and chair David Trickey as they examine what it means to offer trauma-informed care when the environment itself may still be unsafe.
Creating a world that nurtures and protects children and young people following trauma
More than one in three children and young people are exposed to at least one potentially traumatic event by age 18.¹ The right support can make a substantial difference to the extent that traumatic events impact on their lives.
The UK Trauma Council (UKTC) creates evidence-based resources to improve professionals and carers’ understanding of the nature and impact of trauma. We aim to better equip all those supporting children and young people exposed to trauma.
