Feedback

What our participants say

Fantastic link between theory & practice/intervention.

Trauma effects video was very interesting. Just being able to discuss it in a confidential environment without judgements was great and I have a better understanding of the effects.

Raised awareness on the impact physically and psychologically on victims ... Loved the recovery pyramid and the video. I plan to share this within my organisation.

It provided a good overview, with plenty of thought about why as well as practical ideas for supporting young people.
