4th International Conference: Responding to Crisis, Disasters & Traumatic Events
Complex Trauma Institute in collaboration with the University of York
Please contact us for a Team Bulk Price (bulk buy 5 + tickets)
Welcome
This conference is being held due to the increased demand for crisis response in the mental health sector here in the UK and in Ukraine. We saw a need to support mental health professionals in both countries, the UK & Ukraine. Equally, we are hoping that our other international colleagues may benefit by joining us (any English & Ukrainian speaking mental health professionals). This whole conference is also available in Ukrainian.
We, mental health professionals in the UK would like to support Ukraine to stand up to the Russian invasion. Therefore we are hoping to share our knowledge & skills in specialised trauma therapies. At our conference there will be speakers / clinicians from around the world who have extensive experience in providing trauma-informed support at times of crisis. We have gathered international experts from a variety of backgrounds working with trauma, and with trauma survivors, to address multiple aspects of trauma and its response in the earliest stages and within diverse contexts (military, ambulance, fire, police, NHS services, education, domestic abuse, humanitarian response, refugees, children in care, etc.) from USA, Canada, Poland, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Iceland, Israel, Ukraine, and the UK.

Virtual Spring Symposium on Complex Trauma: Surviving Pandemics & Disaster
Complex Trauma Institute in collaboration with the University of York & the Family Therapy Institute
Please contact us for a Team Bulk Price (bulk buy 5 + tickets)
Missed us Live on the 26th of March 2022? Watch our Symposium on Demand
The question for Spring 2022 is what did we learn? And to answer that question we need to ask more questions such as 'Did we survive? Are we back to normal? Just what IS normal?' And we, at the Complex Trauma Institute, feel ready to wrestle with all the issues that are emerging from the survival process of 2021 whilst embracing the hopeful aspects that naturally come with a new Spring season. 2021 brought shortages, control, structure, rules, suffering, anxiety, etc. Spring and beyond in 2022 herald possibility, chances to rebuild and review how we see emotional, financial and physical security. Can we establish a new order or do we just pick up where we left off? We don’t know but we’re willing to explore all sides of the equation as it relates to Complex Trauma in particular. Join us!
