About the Training

Join us for a virtual, one-day event where we will discuss children and young people who have expereinced trauma, including those who meet criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD and Complex PTSD. Our expert speakers will share the latest research updates in this area, discuss how to screen and assess for trauma related difficulties, and help professionals to support these young people whilst they are waiting for trauma treatment to start.

This day is designed for professionals working with children and young people who have experienced trauma and/or have a PTSD diagnosis, but do not have the qualifications to provide an evidence-based treatment (e.g. Trauma-Focussed CBT/EMDR). Please note that treatment techniques will not be taught at this event.

Attendees may include:

  • Care coordiantors/case managers working in CAMHS
  • Low Intensity Workers (CWPs/EMHPs/SWPs)
  • School Counsellors
  • Educational psychologists/professionals


If you have a grounding in CBT practice and would like to learn how to deliver a full Trauma-Focussed CBT intervention, please refer to our separate training event "Trauma-Focussed CBT for CYP with PTSD and Complex PTSD".
