The depths of winter can be a bit gloomy, and light really affects our mood. But on the bright side, we have gone past the shortest day of the year so we should soon start to see longer evenings. Spare a thought for those who find this time of year particularly hard, especially if they've lost loved ones or going through a really hard time. 🙏

Despite distressing things you might be going through, there are often little things that we can use to ground ourselves. For me, nature was an important part of that process. Nature was awe inspiring, calming, stunningly beautiful and the sounds were often very soothing. You might not live near the coast, so even finding a park to walk in can be a breath of fresh air when you really need it. :🥰. These are some if my last few years December shots. :🙏🥰

Our Story

Families in Trauma was set up initially due to my own family suffering a trauma we had no preparation for, and were totally shocked to find there was a lack of support or help for families. We decided this was an appalling situation as trauma needs immediate support and is so difficult to deal with. It was at this point we decided to use the skills we had already developed as video producers and combine it with something to help families in trauma.

We now interview families, who have gone through trauma and record their experiences which are then shared, with the family’s permission, via our website .. This can really help other families who have suffered similar situations - enabling them to hear from other families . This can help them to cope with feelings of isolation, loneliness and provide relief, belief, understanding and a shared sense of purpose and hope.

From these interviews we are creating online mental health support courses. These will be very unique because the information created in the course will be informed by “real” people who have suffered trauma. So ultimately they will be “peer support” programmes delivered online - so available to all and accessible at any time of the day or night.
