"Day One Trauma Support – an introduction"

Learning Aims

Support after Leaving Hospital

Peer Support

We can help by connecting people who have experienced trauma to somebody who has experienced a similar traumatic injury themselves, which could help in understanding injuries, recovery journeys and expectations for rehabilitation.

Access to counselling

We provide counselling for patients and the close relatives of patients to help them work through their anxieties and emotions and help them to feel supported as they come to terms with the traumatic event which has affected their family.

Legal Support

We can support people to access legal support quickly, to help maximise long term recovery, through access to funding and expert medical care after discharge.

Welfare and Benefits Advice

Understanding what benefits and support may be available, can help people make informed decisions about employment or finances. Our partner, Citizens Advice, can advise on the key benefit entitlements available, including universal credit and sickness and disability benefits.
