On June 21 - 23, 2021, the Virtual Trauma Recovery Summit will be hosted live from Titanic Belfast.
The Virtual Trauma Recovery Summit brings together the world’s leading experts in the field of trauma and trauma recovery to present their latest research and understanding of trauma and how it effects both individuals, families and communities. The Summit will examine a range of treatment modalities to heal trauma and how delegates can incorporate these into their own professional practice.
Sources of trauma such as childhood adversity, social injustice and environmental stressors are linked to poor mental health. There is a strong link between addictions, self-harm and suicide. The subject of trauma is relevant to a large audience of health, education and social care professionals.
Trauma is a universal pandemic, but together we can Be the Change and work collectively to bring hope, recovery, resilience and healing to a world that is hurting.

Simple techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, enhance concentration and balance your emotions. Many people suffer from mood problems and stress-related issues like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD. Far too many of them are taking medications that have troublesome side effects, withdrawal symptoms, and disappointing success rates. This workshop will provide a different way to treat stress. Drawn from yoga Buddhist meditation, the Chinese practice of qigong, and other sources, their science-backed methods activate communication pathways between the mind and body to positively impact the brain and calm the stress response.
