Session 2 - Recognising Trauma for Adolescents

Our next workshop is around recognising trauma in adolescents and how we can support those teens with mental and/or physical trauma.

​

Our second workshop will cover the basics of adolescent mental health and wellbeing, including immediate and medium term responses to trauma, particularly in situations of conflict.

​​

The involvement of peers, families and carers is critical, in how incidents might be triggered (through physical violence, cross-generational clashes, social media bullying, manipulative peer pressure, etc), and how best to create supportive recovery environments.

​​

If comfortable, participants are encouraged to share from their own ‘lived’ experience, in a supportive and confidential setting.
