The Greater Manchester Resilience Hub is a unique, all age, mental health
coordination service established after the Manchester Arena Attack on 22nd May 2017 since which a number of different programs have been
commissioned.
The broad aims of this Pathfinder Partnership service are to:
o create and improve pathways and partnership working approaches to the benefit of individuals with complex trauma related mental health needs associated with sexual assault and abuse;
o improve access to professionals trained in identification of, and appropriate response to, complex trauma related mental health needs associated with sexual assault and abuse;
o for individuals with complex trauma related mental health needs the primary aim is to reduce complex trauma related symptoms and improve quality of life (improve individual wellbeing, reduce mental health symptomology,
minimise harm and re-traumatisation, improve functioning (including social and occupational) and support healing and recovery);
o encourage establishment of trauma-informed systems that have impact
beyond this service;
