Creating a Culture of Trauma Recovery

Mark Escott | CEO & Co-Founder of Life Chance

Mark Escott is the Co-Founder and CEO of Life Chance and School for Inspiring Talents, a therapeutic education provider that specialises in working with young people and families who have experienced Trauma. Mark’s own troubled childhood has given him a unique understanding of the world he now works in, and he is an Amazon bestselling author with his book “One More Life Chance – How to support the journey from trauma to transformation”. Mark has over two decades of experience working therapeutically with young people and families delivering impactful interventions and trainings within the Social Care, Health and Education sectors. In 2012, Mark set up the first of his innovative therapeutic trauma recovery schools called School for Inspiring Talents and were the first school in the UK to be awarded the Trauma and Mental Health Informed Schools Award by TIS-UK.

The return to school in September from the sudden enforced and unexpected closures of schools in March due to COVID-19 and moving to a remote online learning system presented a unique set of new challenges for everyone – school leaders, staff, students and parents alike - we have all been deeply touched in some way by this experience. For some, this has been particularly traumatic as they may have dealt with illness, loss, fear, isolation and heightened conflict in already troubled families. This webinar is designed to support anyone who works in schools to understand the needs of children and teenagers who have suffered trauma in their lives and to also find out more information about Life Chance, and School for Inspiring Talents.
