Announcing the Trauma Recovery Global Conference 2025

Exploring emotional neglect, impact and recovery through the power of transforming relationships. With Dr Graham Music and Betsy de Thierry.

Betsy de Thierry invites you to save the date for this conference, designed to equip professionals working with children, young people and families who have experienced Trauma and lead them on a journey towards Trauma Recovery.

In the morning we will have guest speaker Graham Music and Betsy de Thierry delivering keynote, and in the afternoon final session will be a panel exploring system change and practical ways to facilitate a recovery lens and change to bring hope for every child and family.

Once again, Trauma Recovery Global will hosting the conference as a hybrid event, accessible both in person, in Bath and online, on zoom. Here at TRG we value face to face training and conferences, as this is most beneficial for the attendees and trainers, and whilst we understand that some students will need to access online, we would love to meet you in person. As such the cost for in person tickets are slightly reduced.
