17: Trauma

Suzi is joined by Professor Pauline Slade, a clinical psychologist and researcher at the University of Liverpool. Suzi and Pauline discuss the challenges for students managing and processing distressing experiences while working during Covid (and more generally). Pauline provides information and reassurance about what initial responses to trauma can look like, and advice for those worried about post traumatic stress disorder as to how to manage symptoms, and when and where to seek support.
