We will be joined by the incredible Dr Ron Dodzro; a clinical psychologist who has an interest in developing creative, trauma-informed interventions that are accessible and meaningful for individuals and communities.

He has presented at conferences in the UK and internationally and provided workshops to the NHS and HMPPS.

One of his well-known works is a report named ‘The Life of A Top Boy: Community Trauma and Violence’ which amplifies the voices of those with first-hand experience of the community violence that dominates our headlines. It unpicks the psychological impact of community violence through a lens of trauma.
