Join this in person event at the University of Manchester on July 2, 2025.
Hosted and Chaired by Jo Neill and Joe Vaughn.
Trauma is thought to be more prevalent in elite athletes than in the general population. This is thought to be due to trauma incurred in sports participation through direct physical injury, athletes witnessing traumatic events or experiencing abusive dynamics within sports teams or with coaches.
Elite athletes may not receive appropriate recognition of their mental health issues because of their tendency to mask symptoms or injury, particularly of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.
