Statement on the recent community violence from

Trauma Responsive Greater Manchester

07 - Aug - 2024

It is of concern what we are seeing and hearing on the news, in our streets and within our communities. We must come together in a time of great stress and anxiety and support each other. Such trauma affects people differently, at different times, and often for many months after. It can also re-trigger trauma from our past.

We need to be here for each other, for anyone supporting professionals or families in the days, weeks and months ahead, please make sure you look at the resources provided by the UK Trauma Council and the trauma guides we wrote after the Manchester Arena attack. 

The Trauma Responsive GM team would like to encourage everyone to work together and share resources during these challenging times. There is a lot of national learning about how to offer support to children, families and professionals after these community traumas.

Please connect and share.
