Trainer and Tutor
Two PTSD Seminars
25-26 April 2005
Venue: Portland Basin Conference Centre, Ashton-under-Lyne
(Near Oldham, Greater Manchester, England)
Monday or Tuesday 25th - 26th April 2005
10.00 am - 4.00 pm
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the invisible injury. It can affect anyone who has experienced a significant traumatic event. Nobody is immune, and it is estimated that around 30% of all emergency service staff and almost 2% of the general population may be suffering from PTSD symptoms at any one time.
These seminars examine the causes of PTSD, and Complex PTSD, the effects upon families, and explores the outcomes with the help of case studies, experiences, and video. The full day will be of considerable value to welfare staff, those who deal with trauma and trauma victims, and those who have been traumatised.
Issues such as ‘debriefing’ and recovery from PTSD will be explored in a practical and logical way.
The £40 Seminar Fee includes morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea, a pack of workshop notes, and an attendance certificate.
Monday 25th April 2005
Supporting emergency service staff and their families.
The day includes discussion on such questions as:-
At a time when a number of employees are considering legal action against their employers, what does your organisation do to protect those at risk of becoming traumatised?
Do you provide PTSD awareness training?
Do you support those traumatised, in a way they actually appreciate?
What do you offer the partners and children of those officers who are traumatised? Do you ignore them?
Can traumatised officers ever return to work?
Have you considered that officers’ families are also ‘victims’ and likely to exhibit symptoms of PTSD? This may affect the recovery time of your officer.
Tuesday 26th April 2005
Supporting Families with PTSD
“It is estimated that at any one time around 135,000 school children are suffering from PTSD. They may be survivors of abuse or bullying. Some may have been involved in road accidents, or accidents at home.”
In their book, David Kinchin and Erica Brown explore ways in which skilled professionals, including teachers and therapists, can support children (and families) with PTSD.
In this seminar, David will reveal glimpses of the material which appears in his books. This includes the way research into PTSD has redefined our thinking of the disorder in children. The trauma of everyday events. Recovery from PTSD.
Each day has a specific theme and there will be some overlap in material, to suit the specific needs of the delegates present.
Copies of both of David’s books will be available on each day:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - the invisible injury
Supporting Children with PTSD
The number of delegates will be strictly limited to 14 on each day.
