James Docherty – A lived and professional perspective on “recovering from adversity”
James Docherty is a Project Manager at the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, where he’s spent over 15 years leading innovative, trauma-informed projects to prevent violence and promote recovery. Drawing on his own lived experience, he champions a public health approach to tackling Adverse Childhood Experiences and untreated trauma. James also advises Community Justice Scotland and is a resident trainer at Tigers Early Years Academy, embedding children’s rights and relationship-based practice into early years care.
At the drop-in, James will be delivering a powerful talk sharing his lived experience and professional insights into violence prevention and trauma recovery.
