Welcome! These pages are to support children, young people and adults who have experienced trauma which will promote recovery.
.
We have included support for the families who are supporting those people precious to you who have experienced trauma. Additionally, we have also included a page for professionals such as teachers and social workers who would benefit from an understanding of trauma and how to help beneficiaries.
Trauma is commonly defined as exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation (DSM-V, APA, 2013)
Recovery from Trauma is moving from the Victim to the Survivor.
“In the middle of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer”
Albert Camus

'As a bullying prevention charity working with children and families on the frontline, we are all too aware of the impact of trauma on young lives. We are delighted to have built a relationship with The Crysalys Foundation in recent months and will be working together to provide evidence-based support for children experiencing trauma because of bullying. The 'Tackling Trauma' website is a vital resource to help families and professionals understand trauma, and access much needed support.'

‘While the diagnosis of trauma is a specialist area, understanding the root causes of why some children behave in the way they do is crucial for all working with children, young people and families. This website is timely and provides an important reference source for the sector.’
