A conversation between award winning writer, columnist, social commentator and rapper Darren McGarvey and Miriam Taylor, Gestalt therapist, trauma specialist and writer. 

Online, Friday 17th January, 4.00pm - 6.00pm GMT 

Increasing inequality and the rise of trauma are both markers of our time. We all have experienced the signs of traumatic rupture that can exist between social classes, both in the UK and elsewhere.    

From a relational perspective, the roots of trauma lie not in individuals and their lifestyles but in the social conditions of their lives.  And so, how we make sense of the links between poverty, social class and trauma will be the starting point for this conversation between two writers from different backgrounds.

Is it inevitable that the enduring and cumulative stress of poverty leads to traumatic reactions? What is it like for people from working class backgrounds to access services that are shaped by a paradigm that derives from privilege? These issues and more will be moderated by Ed Fellows in what should be a thought-provoking webinar.

This session is aimed primarily for mental health practitioners and others in the helping/coaching professions.   

Cost:           £30 standard fee, £20 trainee/student fee, free for unwaged.
