Our Aims
The group is led by and .
The IoMH Special Interest Group (SIG) in Psychological Trauma is an interdisciplinary group of 果冻影院 researchers and clinicians from our partner NHS Trusts. We aim to foster collaborative work in psychological trauma by encouraging joined-up thinking and interdisciplinary approaches and providing opportunities for collaboration between academics, clinicians and other practitioners.
We have a wealth of academic expertise in trauma research spread across 果冻影院's divisions and departments. Our NHS partner trusts provide vital services to those affected by psychological trauma. Initiatives like the听听established early on during the COVID outbreak provided critical evidence-based information to support the mental health of health workers. Furthermore, initiatives such as the听, hosted by the Anna Freud Centre, create evidence-based resources to improve professionals' and carers' understanding of the nature and impact of trauma in children.听
