"What is PTSD? is an innovative awareness-raising workshop led by Sole Survivor PTSD Support Founder Matt Shepley or Mental Health Lead Julie Fox. Available both online and in person, the workshop combines factual information on (C-) PTSD symptoms with Matt and Julie's extensive personal and professional experiences. With over 800 hours of trauma-informed PTSD peer support completed since 2019, the course aims to raise awareness about PTSD, its manifestations, and its impact on the community, including family, friends, and coworkers. Attendees will gain valuable insights into this complex and often misunderstood condition.
We work in the underserved communities within our region, providing innovative trauma-informed services, helping people of these communities start to recognise and work on their diagnosed, but often undiagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
We aim to raise awareness with our CPD-accredited training, as it is a condition that is often stigmatised as something that affects only those who have served in the Armed Services.
The training is based on Founder Matt Shepley’s & MH Lead Julie Fox’s first-hand experience of working with PTSD in a front-line key working role and extensive support of those who suffer from this debilitating condition.
