We learn that when our attention is caught up in the past or in the future, we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. Mindfulness helps us recognise these automatic reactions and understand them as part of normal human experience. This can allow kindness to replace self-criticism, as we would offer to others but rarely do for ourselves.

Attending our Integrative Health Forum on trauma informed care is an essential opportunity for healthcare professionals to enhance their understanding and practice of compassionate, effective care within the Integrative Medicine model. Participants will gain access to leading experts who will share the latest research and practical strategies for recognising and responding to trauma. This knowledge is crucial for improving outcomes for individuals who have experienced trauma, building resilience and helping with recovery. Trauma informed care offers not only professional development but provides critical insights and practical tools from the Integrative Medicine toolbox as well as a network of support to enhance the quality of care for trauma affected individuals.
