What We Do

The Dare to Live Trust is a cutting edge, Trauma-Informed education and life skills programme that aims to improve the wellbeing and ease the challenges that servicemen and women experience as they transition into civilian life and young people experience as they transition into adult life. We support frontline NHS workers and first responders to respond and adapt to the incredible challenges they are facing in the workplace due to Covid 19.
We support these groups with Trauma Transition; which means finding a new purpose and direction for their lives and new adaptive skills to enable a sense of safety and wellbeing.
