CLEAR, the Cornish Charity which supports people to flourish after trauma, is launching a new book, CLEAR Conversations at Waterstones in Truro on Saturday 10th August 2024 between 9-30am and 12-30pm.

CLEAR Conversations is a collection of interviews with creative therapists and person-centred counsellors who work with children and young people that offers a unique insight into the incredibly valuable work of the charity. The interviews took place with chartered clinical psychologist, Dr.Sarah Perry who edited the book.

Carolyn Webster, CEO of CLEAR said: "Our work is not often seen. The conversations in this book between our highly skilled and dedicated team provide a window into a world that makes a difference for many children across Cornwall

A huge thank-you to Sarah and to Phil at the Hypatia Trust for helping to make this publication happen and to Waterstones for giving us the opportunity to share it more widely."

CLEAR helps around 800 children, young people and adults each year to heal from harm caused by abuse and emotional trauma. It is the only all age, all gender therapy service in Cornwall and the only organisation in the county to be accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

CLEAR also delivers the Invictus CLEAR Counselling service supporting 11-21 year olds experiencing poor mental health and the Hope for Harm service, supporting adults who self-harm.

We are fortunate to have opened a new premises at 8 Cathedral Lane which is a flexible retail, training and community space in the heart of Truro. We opened on 7 October 2023 and since then has opened for 3 days a week selling donated preloved items and donated hand-crafts. CLEAR’s central base is situated in the same building, on the third floor.
The drivers for taking on additional premises on the ground floor were:

• More accessible access for counselling
• A space to deliver training and workshops
• An opportunity to develop an additional income stream that over time could make a positive financial contribution to the charity, with surplus reinvested into providing therapy and counselling for survivors of abuse and other traumatic crime that is free at the point of access.
• A vehicle to provide volunteering opportunities
• An opportunity to promote CLEAR, to raise awareness of issues of abuse and violence and an understanding of trauma and its impact.

The post is funded through the Community Levelling Up fund until 31/12/24, and by CLEAR until 31/3/25. Continuation beyond March 2025 will be subject to sufficient ongoing income generation.
