"Building Alliance - Not Compliance!"

Welcome,

Are you personally looking for support for you or your family?  Are you looking for staff  training and development - encouraging staff members  to understand how to support others going through real challenges?  If so,  we are here to help with our unique method of delivery, support and training.

Our  non-profit social enterprise was set up with 2 specific aims  :

1.  To provide peer support to individuals and families impacted by trauma and adverse experiences, and

2. To  deliver training to organisations who wish to  embed peer work within their teams, create more understanding around       trauma and generally build a more supportive culture,      Lived experience, peer to peer and co-production are core to what we offer.

OUR VISION is to amplify the voice of  lived experience,  encourage others to identify their own strengths and learn that recovery is possible!   Our vision is to see a society that understands  that  "lived experience",  used in a positive way,  can  create stronger families, communities and organisations and will  inspire hope in an otherwise bleak situation.

OUR MISSION is to  provide support to those  impacted by trauma, and deliver peer-led, trauma sensitive training  to organisations in the  third, public and private sectors.  In this way we can all  discover new ways of creating   "meaningful" change.

Resources

For individuals we   offer 1-1 support,  face to face group discussions, online groups and a  variety of digital and print materials that we believe will be useful to anyone  facing  anxiety, depression and trauma.

For organisations  we deliver training which helps to re-frame the connection with  staff and clients.    From our feedback,  the courses  have been extremely powerful in helping to shape the way individuals and organisations move forward.  All our resources are co-produced using  individuals' lived experience throughout.

Being able to get our police officers trained in peer2peer has been invaluable . Maggie and her team have been a great support to us and we can really see the benefit for our own officers but also in the support that we deliver to the public. This can only be for the benefit of our communities.

I was given Maggie's details as I wanted to work with people, but didn't have any qualifications and felt that because of this I didn't have anything to contribute. Through the peer support training I have learned that I have so much knowledge and skills through my own lived experience. I am now able to use my skills in a better way using empathy rather than telling people what to do and listening to people first.. I would highly recommend peer support and Families in Trauma and Recovery as its coming from a place of equality rather than hierarchy.

We have been really pleased to tap into the training from Families in Trauma and Recovery in helping to train some of our workers so that they can help individuals we are supporting. This is a really valuable training
