āExposure to trauma through violence is unfortunately a daily reality for many young, Black men (Bertram & Dartt, 2008). One way or another, many young Black men are carrying around the burden of trauma. I see their heavy shoulders daily.ā @NDodzro

I heard back from participants- they described essential and inspirational training. So pleased you are working with us.
We had a great day delivering our āUnderstanding Trauma: Responding to a Violent Incidentā training to a group of amazing Lambeth professionals. Itās always a honour to be able to create safe spaces for practitioners to learn and reflect to develop practice.

It takes an older generationās warped values to raise children who behave in this way and violent youth crime has been a feature of British life since the 18th century, at least.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million in minutes and be able to show all NHS staff the support they continue to need. It will take just a few seconds of your life but could make such a difference.
