Event Overview:

The Hope for Better Future Self-Development Programme invites you to join an insightful and healing session on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), facilitated by Tagwa Hamed, a medical professional with a deep understanding of trauma care and extensive experience in community support. This session will address the effects of PTSD, offer strategies for healing, and provide valuable resources to help participants navigate their recovery journey.

PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced a traumatic event, leaving deep emotional, psychological, and physical scars. Whether caused by violence, abuse, accidents, or natural disasters, trauma often lingers long after the event itself, impacting one’s daily life and well-being. This programme will explore the challenges of PTSD and offer actionable insights to manage symptoms, build resilience, and seek the right support for recovery.

Tagwa’s medical background, combined with her experience in community support, provides a unique approach that blends clinical knowledge with practical, community-focused solutions to help individuals heal holistically.

Session Highlights:

Understanding PTSD: What It Is and How It Affects Us:
Tagwa will provide a clear and thorough explanation of PTSD, including the symptoms (e.g., flashbacks, hyperarousal, emotional numbness) and how trauma can affect mental, physical, and emotional health. She will discuss the causes and explain why PTSD often doesn’t simply “go away” without intervention.
The Science of Trauma and Healing:
With her medical expertise, Tagwa will explain how trauma impacts the brain and body, outlining the physiological processes that can lead to PTSD. This session will help participants understand why healing from trauma is a gradual process and provide insight into the path toward recovery.
Coping Strategies for PTSD:
Practical strategies will be shared to help participants manage the effects of PTSD. Tagwa will introduce grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices, offering participants tools they can use daily to ease the symptoms of PTSD and regain a sense of control over their lives.
Building Emotional Resilience and Self-Care:
Healing from trauma requires resilience, and Tagwa will guide participants through building emotional strength and self-compassion. She will discuss self-care practices and coping mechanisms that promote emotional healing and contribute to overall well-being.
Community Support and Accessing Professional Help:
One of the most important aspects of trauma recovery is knowing where to turn for support. Tagwa will highlight various community-based resources and services, including therapy options and support groups, available to those dealing with PTSD. Understanding how to access professional help can be pivotal in the recovery process.
