WHO WE ARE

 

“No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster”  ~ Dalai Llama IV.

 

Dr Anne Eyre (PhD Sociology) and Jelena Watkins (MA, UKCP) lead the work of the Centre and its network of professionals specialising in psychosocial aspects of collective grief, loss, trauma, and disasters.

We offer training, support, research and consultancy services to those preparing for and responding to collective trauma events – including critical incidents, major emergencies and disasters. 
 
Our services are founded on evidence-based best practice and tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of clients, events and context.

 

We are not just about putting people and their needs at the heart of emergency planning, response and recovery activities, but applying this ethic in measurable ways.
