Home | Trauma Awareness

Providing trauma-informed programs for those working with and supporting those in need of support within the trauma services.

Raising awareness and understanding of the impact of trauma through interactive event led multimedia projects to convey lived experiences of refugee and asylum seekers.

A conversation about Community Listening Projects

" I found the speaker really inspirational , how she shared some of her own story too and the way she has helped to bring together communities who rarely have a voice"
"It was so moving to hear Rissa read the actual words of the women, and I was fascinated by their journey to the Isle of Bute and what life was like for them"

"The podcast really brought out how these community projects can gather so much unexpected momentum, and all here in Bristol as well"
