Research summary
The overarching aim of the project is to co-create a drama-informed recovery and wellbeing pathway with complex trauma survivors. The objectives are:
a. To ascertain the mental health and wellbeing support needs of people who may meet the new diagnostic category of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through lived experience consultations.
and
b.To explore the ways in which dramatherapists can design a drama-informed well being group intervention using drama to support wellbeing and recovery from complex trauma experiences.
Complex PTSD was first included as a mental health diagnosis in the International Classification of Diseases in 2022 and describes the multiple mental health and interpersonal implications of having experienced prolonged and repeated trauma, often in childhood.REC name
