Latest News from Trauma Responsive Greater Manchester
Trauma Responsive Manchester News Letter December 2024.
This newsletter highlights some of our key achievements through 2024 and what's coming up.
Thank you for all your support over the last 12 months. We have been able to achieve so much by
working together. Our achievements have included:
- Welcoming our new ACEs and Trauma Project Manager Elena Vacca to the Public Health Team.
- Training over 1,300 people this year! We are also developing plans for a level 2 training course and some bitesize webinars.
- Manchester Action on Street Health (MASH) have developed and delivered 10 bespoke trauma training sessions with their service user advisory panel ‘Sue’s Space’ to a range of organisations including probation, the police, shelter, Angels of Hope, Coffee4Craig and many more.
- Working with partners to establish the Trauma and Sexual Violence Network. You can read more about this in our Annual Health Scrutiny Report.
We could not have achieved all of this without your support. We hope you have a great break and a happy 2025!

The animation is an introduction to trauma and recovery and has been developed to support educational professionals in understanding and supporting students who have been affected by trauma. This freely available resource, aimed at those working in education, helps open up discussion about trauma with young people. A result of efforts working with clinician, teachers and young people this resource was helped through the The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund (WLMEF).

Seven organisations have used grant funding to make a real difference to Greater Manchester’s trauma responsive capabilities.

Funding was earmarked for extra grants to successful projects which bid in round one.
