The Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth
The work carried out by the Centre and the services it provides are broad and varied. It breaks down into the following four areas: therapy, consultancy, training, and research.

The Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth is a member of the UK Trauma Group (UKTG), an informal network of leads of UK Trauma Centres.



Effects of traumatic stress
The majority of people exposed to a serious traumatic event often find they will recover in time with few ill effects, although they often find that their attitude and outlook on life changes as a result of their experience - sometimes in a positive way in which they report that they feel they have benefited in some way through an enhanced appreciation of life, and the development of new values about what is important. However, some people may develop a range of problems in living; some may develop phobias, problems with social interaction and cut themselves off from family and friends. Other problems include depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. There is hope, however, for those affected if they seek help sooner rather than later.



Please note
The Trauma Service is now reopen to referrals. The service is able to accept referrals for clients originating from Nottinghamshire County based GP practices only at present. We are unable to accept self-referrals.

We estimate that waiting times for assessment will be approximately up to 8 weeks and treatment waiting times to be approximately 3-6 months. Please contact the service by emailing traumacentre@nottshc.nhs.uk for a guide to our referral criteria (inclusions and exclusions) or call 0115 854 2225 with any queries.

Requests for training can still be made and will be considered and responded to but we may not be able to facilitate new training requests until staff capacity has been increased.
