The Healthwatch Essex Trauma Card has been created by the Healthwatch Essex Trauma Ambassador Group, a group of people with lived experience of trauma.
The card is designed to be a tool to empower cardholders to make those they are interacting with aware of when they are experiencing the effects of trauma, and to inform those in receipt of the card about trauma and how to more effectively support, and work with, those living with the effects of trauma.
All Trauma cardholders carry the card to present in health and care settings when they experience a situation which has generated a trigger from them.
Please see Card Holders – Trauma Card (traumahub.uk) for more information or to request a card
