As a final offering following our closure on 28th March, we opened up our online workshops on a highly discounted basis – all funds were donated to the Alex Timpson Trust to support projects for care experienced people and foster carers.

These were available until the end of December 2024. This fabulous resource is already being widely used by over 5000 professionals across Greater Manchester to support ongoing trauma-informed practice across the locality. Thanks to GMCA who have funded the extension of this website after our closure. Any funds generated from this resource will be donated to

Testimonials for the Beyond Academy

We have been using the Beyond Psychology Academy in our service and it has been such a great addition to the training offer for staff. Whilst the content is online, we have chosen to come together in small groups to enable and guide conversations about the learning and explore how being a trauma informed practitioner impacts our personal and professional selves. This has been received so well by staff who really appreciate the bite size modules followed by reflective discussion. The training has been a great boost for staff learning as well as morale and wellbeing and the relaxed and informal approach to the content means it is accessible for all.

Service Lead – Children Leaving Care, Manchester City Council

This course re enforced a lot of the strategies we were using already. Having done ACES training and delivered Webster Stratton behaviour courses this training gave me a better understanding of what is going on in the brain

Parent/Carer

I have completed the Level one and really enjoyed the way the learning was presented. Just loving the ‘hand brain’

Service lead for fostering

I’ve just started this and done the first two sessions of level 1 and found it very engaging and interesting…really recommend other colleagues to take the time to log on and do this training it is so relevant to the work we are all doing everyday.

Director of children’s social care

For information about:

Over the years we have developed a whole setting trauma-informed package for schools, colleges and other organisations. Training and consultation focusses on supporting all staff to build understanding of the important role of attachment, developmental trauma, toxic stress and shame, and how early life trauma can impact significantly on the emotional and social lives of young people. We are proud that the feedback we get has always been that we deliver this in an accessible and nurturing way that supports all to engage with this difficult topic.

Training and consultation covers concepts to understand the neuroscience of the brain, and the impact and disruptions early life trauma cause to the social emotional and cognitive functioning of young people. Our hope is you can put this knowledge to practice in your everyday lives to help promote neurological and relational recovery with the young people you care for or work alongside.

These can be adapted to meet the training needs of you and your team
