In the public arena, the media and schools, the narrative about mental health sounds a bit like symptoms descend on you like Covid or the common cold. It’s a narrative that’s superficial, impoverished, brings little hope and is not neuroscience or psychology research informed. It rarely informs you about causes (apart from broken brain and faulty genes myths which are just plain wrong) or about how to recover, meaning transformational change rather than just temporary relief or symptom control. In contrast when people are given the wealth of research (made accessible) and fascinating insights about the impact of unprocessed traumatic life experience on mind, body and brain, they feel both relief and hope. They are often motivated to engage in the relational interventions proven to bring mind in torment to mind in peace.
So, this training is for anyone who works with children and young people who wants the neuroscientific and psychological truth about mental health problems and how people can go on to live quality of life without emotional baggage. Proof? Trauma Informed Schools UK (sister organisation of IATE/CCMH) has been using this knowledge and interventions in over 5000 schools with over 20,000 staff. The knowledge and interventions are changing so many lives.
