NEW: Training for voluntary sector workers in London, Weds 21 May

Due to unforeseen popular demand for our April training for NGO's, voluntary sector workers and volunteers, we are pleased to announce that we will be running a second session on Wednesday 21st May. The session will run from 1-4pm in Central London (venue tbc).

If you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of science, memory and credibility, and in learning to use scientific evidence to support your work with people seeking asylum, please get in touch with Clare Cochrane (c.cochrane@csel.org.uk) to book a place, or if you need any further information.

We look forward to seeing you there!

CSEL Director Jane Herlihy to speak at Solace Women's Aid

On March 25th, Jane will be presenting some of her work on trauma and memory to Solace Women's Aid, drawing on a recently published review of the currently available scientific literature on memory, in order to outline theories of normal and traumatic memory.  Her presentation will also include research studies on inconsistencies in memory, overgeneral memory and difficulties disclosing distressing personal experiences, that demonstrate some of the reasons why people who have experienced one or many traumatic events might have difficulties presenting a consistent, coherent and full description of some of the most distressing moments of their lives.
