We will:

• Explore definitions and types of trauma, and consider the potential impacts of trauma on people
• Reflect on notions of structural and socio-economic trauma, and the need to avoid pathologizing individuals
• Consider cautionary messages from research regarding the (mis)use of ‘ACEs’, and explore why reductive neuroscience can be so seductive
• Highlight the crucial importance of participatory practice in the context of trauma
• Reflect on the need for trauma-informed approaches across the whole organisation
• Respectfully debate all of the above in a safe and brave space together
