🌟 Awake Awareness CIC – Together for Trauma-Informed Communities 🌟
A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a not-for-profit organisation created to serve the community, not shareholders. At Awake Awareness CIC, founded by Clare Shanahan and Denise Campion, our mission is to bring compassionate, trauma-informed education and support into the heart of Lichfield and surrounding areas.
We believe trauma is not a sign of brokenness, but a natural response to overwhelming experiences. Trauma affects both the body and the mind — shaping how people think, feel, and respond to the world. By understanding these trauma responses, we can replace shame with compassion, and confusion with clarity.
Through workshops, community talks, teenage support groups, and professional training, we aim to:
✨ Educate people about the impact of trauma
✨ Provide safe, supportive spaces for healing
✨ Empower professionals and communities to respond with understanding and care
Together, we can create a community where behaviours are understood through the lens of trauma, resilience is nurtured, and healing becomes possible.
📍 Based in Lichfield | Covering Staffordshire & West Midlands
