KCH Major Trauma Psychology Service Community Violence Networking Day

Join the King's College Hospital Major Trauma Centre Psychology Service for a day of networking, talks, and a workshop focussed on supporting those impacted by community violence across the lifespan.

What we hope to achieve on the day

Our goal is to bring together a diverse range of statutory and third-sector organisations to network and better understand each other’s services.

We aim to:

• Explore the need for a public health approach in supporting those impacted by community violence.
• Facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing among professionals from health, education, criminal justice, housing, youth services, mental health, and the voluntary sector.
• Develop a centralised database of attending organisations, including information on services provided and referral pathways to support ongoing joint working.
• Showcase practice and development needs through talks and presentations from a variety of organisations already engaged in successful interagency approaches.
• Share real-life stories of individuals impacted by community violence who have benefited from collaborative intervention.
• Host a practical workshop focused on networking and co-designing solutions to improve multi-agency pathways across South East London.

The day will feature talks from professionals from a variety of backgrounds, inlcuding:

• Keynote speaker: Prof Martin Griffiths CBE, Clinical Director of the Violence Reduction Programme
