TAG is a group studying and supporting work concerning trauma, abuse and dissociation.

 

The group exists to provide information, support, training, encouragement and networking for counsellors, therapists, professional workers, carers and indeed anyone who is concerned or interested and any that are working with individuals who have suffered trauma and abuse. As a group we acknowledge the contribution of survivors to increased understanding in this area and respect the great value of their insights.
