About this Event
Event Photos

We welcome clinicians, people with lived experience and their supporters to join us for this important event where we aim to explore different experiences and perspectives on dissociation. Our aim is to bring together speakers and delegates who bring their expertise through training, lived experience and research to collaborate on building diverse perspectives on dissociation and pathways towards support and recovery. The aim of this day is to build a range of digitally accessible resources that will assist clinicians, people with lived experience and their supporters in making sense of dissociation as a pathway to developing compassionate and caring spaces where recovery and healng can take place.
