Additional Information
Barnardo’s NOVA Trauma Support Service provides therapeutic support to children, young people and parents.
The service is delivered with funding and support from the ‘Victims and Survivors Service’ on behalf of ‘The Executive Office’ and is available for families who have been affected by the N.I Conflict/’Troubles’. This could be a trans-generational impact when a previous trauma has impacted a family’s older generation which can have ripple effects on the younger generation coping with a more recent trauma.
Many people are living with on-going trauma reactions including fear and anxiety, nightmares, panic attacks, flashbacks, depressive feelings and loss of belief in a 'safe world'. We can help to increase a sense of safety, overcome the fear that is associated with traumatic memories, reduce/eliminate trauma reactions and help to increase a sense of safety and re-connection with family, friends and community.
We are a professionally qualified team that has been providing therapeutic trauma support to children, young people and parents for over 20 years. Self-referrals are accepted. We also accept referrals from teachers, social workers, GP’s, health visitors and other professionals or from community and voluntary groups.
If you are unsure if we are the most appropriate service for you please contact us to discuss. We welcome all enquiries and, if are unable to provide support for you, we may be able to signpost you to the most appropriate service that will best meet your needs.
