Our Purpose

The Shannon Moore Trauma Trust Purposes are:

Purpose One:
To provide funding for specialist trauma therapy for those who cannot otherwise afford it, which will alleviate suffering for individuals and families who have been impacted by trauma and who live in West Sussex

We do this by awarding individuals and their families (who fit our grant criteria) funding to:

• Access an assessment which identifies the ways in which trauma has impacted them and maps out a trauma-informed therapy plan.
• Access specialist trauma-informed therapy which will offer healing, and recovery.
• Access funding to support the network around those impacted by trauma to understand and work collectively towards healing.
• To support a culture shift towards a more trauma informed society.

Purpose Two:

To provide funding to educate, both locally and globally, on the impact of trauma on individuals, families and communities, to create a culture shift towards a trauma-informed society.

We do this by funding training, consultation and supervision for those working with, living with or supporting individuals and communities who have experienced trauma.
