We are absolutely delighted to share that our project has featured in an essay by Jules Morgan in The Lancet Psychiatry on 21st March.
Here is an extract :
"People are only just starting to talk about complex PTSD, but we need to act now, says Jessica Miller (University of Cambridge, UK, and Police Care UK), Principal Investigator of the project Trauma Resilience in UK Policing. “What is happening is that complex PTSD is becoming normalised. We relentlessly expose normal brains to highly abnormal situations and extraordinary roles and expect nothing to happen”, says Miller...As part of the trauma resilience programme, Miller has designed a course in Trauma Impact Prevention Techniques to train officers about wellbeing, with a psychoeducational approach for trauma processing. “Only a tiny orthogonal shift in mindset is needed. If you present society with a massive problem, everyone just shrinks away, but if you present a problem with several simple solutions that individuals can hook on to and do something with, then we’ve got real change”, she says.
