We are delighted to launch the first of our ‘Professor Judy Dunn Webinar Series’ by welcoming David Trickey, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, and Co-Director of the UK Trauma Council. David will share his expert knowledge and insights into trauma, specifically exploring how an event can become traumatic, the responses to traumatic events, and what can be done, by whom, to support and maximise recovery.
The ‘Professor Judy Dunn Webinar Series’ will disseminate the evidence-based research, on different mental health topics, to help parents and those working with children and young people.

Rationale for trauma focused work
About the session
Many children and young people will experience potentially traumatic events that result in distress and difficulties. If such distress and difficulties are lasting, then professional help and support may be required. But what can be done in the immediate aftermath to maximise the chances of recovery and minimise the need for professional help? Exactly how an event can become traumatic will be described in detail. And then five evidence based principles will be described, so that the adults around children and young people (such as parents, carers, teachers, social workers etc.) can create the best environment in which recovery from trauma is most likely.
Key learning takeaways
- To understand how trauma works (i.e. how an event can become traumatic)
- To know what can be done, by whom, to maximise the chances of recovery from trauma
Who should attend
It will be of particular interest to parents, those working in education, such as teachers, educational psychologists, and those with a pastoral care responsibility, plus those who oversee youth work such as Social Workers. Additionally, those working as therapists and practioners should attended, and those interested in the effects of trauma.
