The UKPTS is delighted to announce the 2025 Annual Conference: Addressing the Complex and Enduring Impact of Childhood Trauma in Diverse Communities on Wednesday 22 January 2025 at Nexus, Leeds.
The impact of childhood trauma is significant and far-reaching, affecting the development and well-being of children and young people and continuing into adulthood. Furthermore, many individuals affected by trauma are marginalised, with the impact of trauma under-represented in clinical and research settings. Communities and services are attempting to cope with this wide-ranging impact, and our understanding of childhood trauma and adversity is constantly evolving.
UKPTS 2025 Leeds will bring together a range of experts to explore these issues, providing a space to share and learn about how we can understand and address the impact of childhood trauma and adversity.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of the most vibrant cities in the UK for a fascinating and important conference.
– Dr David Turgoose, Conference Chair
