Blue Knot Foundation releases new report

[bluepalm]

The Blue Knot Foundation in Australia has recently released a new report entitled 'Complex Trauma Spotlight Report - Living with and Healing from Complex Trauma'. The Foundation describes this report as follows:

"This Spotlight Report was commissioned by the National Mental Health Commission in recognition of the significant need to build awareness and understanding of the often chronic and largely unmet needs of people living with the long-term impacts of complex trauma. This report reviews the current research and practice into complex trauma and experiences of people with a lived experience of complex trauma – how they have engaged with the system and how the systems have responded to their needs. It highlights the chasm between needs and the system's capacity to meet them, to support healing and recovery, minimise experiences of re-traumatisation and to be heard, respected and supported to live meaningful participating connected lives.

The report may be downloaded from the Blue Knot Foundation website: https://www.blueknot.org.au/Resources/Publications/Spotlight-Report

Wow, I love the BKF, such an amazing organization and always seem spot on. 

We here know about "the chasm between needs and the system's capacity to meet them, to support healing and recovery, minimise experiences of re-traumatisation and to be heard, respected and supported to live meaningful participating connected lives" and not just in Australia, but globally.  So very good to see this in a report from an organization like BK - progress!

I'm going to tweet about this BluePalm, helps to spread the word about reports like this. It's what we've been saying here for a long time.      Tks for sharing it here
