There have been significant advances in the treatment of traumatic disorders in the last two decades. Further improvements will only occur through recognition of the diversity of symptoms in trauma populations and the development of treatments that promote the tailoring of services according to patient needs. Within the NHS, we’re calling for improved assessment and diagnosis methodology and improved access for treatments that specifically relate to traumatic disorders.
We recognise the vital role of trauma research in comprehending and addressing the impact of traumatic experiences and we intend to actively contribute to and expedite the advancement of this field through targeted funding initiatives.
We aim to provide peer-delivered trauma awareness consultation, assistance, and training to a wide range of organisations, including Police, Judiciary, Educators and Prison Estate to improve the way mental health and public health services are commissioned, organised, delivered, and managed through trauma-aware change and facilitate a more compassionate and effective environment for those who have experienced childhood and adult traumatic experiences.
