Home – Program Detail
The BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme is more than a course — it is a lifeline for those navigating the complex aftermath of trauma. Pioneered by Mayameen Meftahi BEM, recipient of the British Empire Medal and the Queen’s Honours Award, this programme has already helped hundreds of survivors worldwide reclaim their lives and step into a future beyond trauma.
Unlike traditional approaches, this 5-7-week intensive healing journey does not require you to relive painful experiences. Instead, it offers a practical, psychoeducational, and solution-focused framework that equips you with the tools, insights, and strategies to move forward — safely, powerfully, and with dignity.
Accredited & Award-Winning – Recognised for its outstanding impact and used by leading organisations such as Action for Children.
Safe & Non-Therapeutic – No need to revisit or retell traumatic memories; healing begins in the present.
Short Yet Transformative – In just 5-7 weeks, participants experience breakthroughs that many thought would take years.
Knowledge as the Key to Recovery – By understanding trauma and how it impacts the brain, body, and emotions, participants unlock the ability to regulate, heal, and grow.
Designed for Real Lives – Practical tools and strategies that can be immediately applied to everyday challenges.
Across seven carefully structured sessions, you will:
Learn how trauma shapes thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
Develop practical techniques for self-regulation and emotional resilience.
Break free from cycles of shame, fear, or self-blame.
Discover healthier ways to respond, relate, and rebuild.
Step into a life defined not by trauma, but by strength, confidence, and possibility.
The BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme is grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t have to mean re-living. Instead, it creates a safe and empowering environment where survivors learn, reflect, and grow without retraumatisation. By focusing on awareness and solutions, participants are free to move beyond their past and embrace their future.
Instructor-Led, Interactive Live Sessions via Google Meet, whereby we work together through each Module of the programme.
Comprehensive workbook to accompany you throughout the sessions, serving as your personal self-help guide for future reference.
Group support extends beyond the Live sessions with our support group on Facebook and via our Survivors Action Forum. The healing journey doesn't have to be lonely.
In our BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme, each session is meticulously crafted with a specific focus, tailored to facilitate healing in a solution-focused manner. This intentional design ensures that participants receive targeted support and guidance throughout their journey of recovery. By dedicating each session to a particular aspect of healing, we create a structured and systematic approach that allows individuals to address their trauma-related challenges with clarity and purpose. This focused approach fosters deeper understanding and engagement, empowering participants to tackle issues head-on and make meaningful progress. Moreover, the specificity of each session enables us to cover a wide range of topics essential for comprehensive healing. From emotional regulation techniques to building resilience and fostering positive coping mechanisms, every aspect of the recovery process is addressed with precision and care. This emphasis on targeted sessions is crucial for healing in a solution-focused way because it allows participants to concentrate their efforts on actionable steps and tangible outcomes. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of their trauma, individuals can channel their energy into practical strategies and meaningful progress, paving the way for lasting transformation and growth. At BeyondTrauma, we believe that healing is a journey best navigated with clarity, focus, and intention.

As you reach the end of your transformative journey with BeyondTrauma, you leave with more than just new tools and insights — you leave with recognition. Every participant who completes the programme receives a Certificate of Completion, validated by ACCPH, awarding you 15 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points in Trauma-Informed Learning.
This certificate is more than a piece of paper. It’s a credible and professional acknowledgment of the work you’ve done to heal, grow, and step beyond trauma. It represents your courage, resilience, and dedication — a visible marker of the strength it took to commit to this journey.
We believe milestones in healing deserve to be celebrated. That’s why this CPD Certificate of Completion stands as a symbol of:
Resilience – your ability to rise above what tried to hold you back.
Commitment – your dedication to investing in yourself and your future.
Achievement – a recognised accomplishment that is valued both personally and professionally.
Holding this certificate is a reminder that you are capable of more than surviving — you are capable of thriving. It is evidence not just of where you’ve been, but of the incredible possibilities that lie ahead.
Thanks for the Certificate, I’m more happy than when I finished my Bachelor Degree!
