Cambridge trauma charity granted Big Lottery Fund award

A partnership award from the Big Lottery Fund will help the Foundation train charity workers in an effective evidence-based method called Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR.

“Reducing Stress and Trauma in the Community” is a project created by The Serenitas Foundation and is designed to train charity workers in effective methods to help people under their care to resolve traumas and other related mental health issues.

Charity founder and director , Colin Stroud, said

“Charities are affected by trauma in two ways. Workers and volunteers can experience compassion fatigue or burnout. Clients' ability to respond to assistance is made less effective by trauma. Some clients don’t always benefit from the help they are offered and these 'revolving door' cases can absorb a high proportion of time and effort. Effective methods such as TIR can bring positive outcomes for both groups."

The Serenitas Foundation is looking for interested charities who would like to put forward workers or volunteers to learn TIR under close supervision.
