This is a 45-min webinar in partnership with OnStar, followed by 15-mins for Q&A and discussion.

About this initiative: The Healing After Trauma platform curated in partnership with OnStar - the pioneering safety and connectivity technology from General Motors, spans a three-part webinar series and a guided art workshop, to offer complimentary health and wellness insights and aid, targeting anyone who has directly, or indirectly, been impacted by a road traffic incident.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

When an individual’s mind and body has experienced physical danger, our survival instincts and mode of operation kick into action. Existing in a state of ‘survival’ can last for various periods of time for everyone depending on their interpretation of the trauma they endured and the impact it has had on their life. This session will consider a deeper exploration of the impact of experiencing or witnessing a road traffic incident on an individual’s internal assumptions about the world, and the greater impact this can have not only on emotional wellbeing but also on our overall physical wellbeing and engagement with life.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Anyone who has directly, or indirectly, been impacted by a road traffic incident

ATTENDEES WILL WALK AWAY WITH:

  • A recap of what Acute Stress Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are.
  • Developing an awareness of psychological safety assumptions and how these may be altered after experiencing a traumatic incident.
  • Practical tips and tools for healthy ways of coping with, and reforming psychological safety assumptions.
  • Knowing the signs that you may need additional support.
