Our Community Matters

This initiative has two aims: to build parents’/carers’ understanding around early developmental trauma, attachment, and the impact of trauma on children through to adulthood; and to provide opportunity for a minimum of 13 children and their families to have access to 12 sessions of trauma and therapeutic services/sessions (156 sessions delivered in total).

To achieve the first aim, to raise parents’/carers’ awareness and understanding of how traumatic experiences impact a child’s mental, behavioural, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing, they will host two bespoke training and awareness events in 2024.

To achieve the second aim, they will deliver therapy and therapeutic services to children and their families. This will cover a wide range of referral concerns such as bereavement, abuse, and domestic violence, and offer a wide range of creative therapies such as counselling, play therapy, and neurofeedback.
