Impact Stories
Trauma affects us all in different ways. Here, we aim to capture how people have been affected, the support they have received, and how they have overcome.

CATH, From Training to Transformation
In 2023, Sarah from CATH’s On the Mend programme first connected with Trauma Healing Together through an enquiry about participating in the Perth and Kinross Mental Health and Wellbeing Festival. This initial contact developed into a collaborative relationship over the following two years, during which On the Mend worked with Pathways to Hope clients.

Finding Light After Trauma
Before accessing support, Caroline describes her life as feeling “black, empty, lifeless and numb.” Although she continued working, she was completely withdrawn from the world around her. Outside of caring for her daughter, she felt disconnected from everything and everyone.
