The unhealed trauma caused by abuse is spreading and escalating through every generation. When we put these statistics together, it's easy to see how one impacts another. The way forward is clear. To tackle a problem this huge, we need to work together
At Clear Path UK Conference you will
Uncover the root causes of abuse in our communities, the biggest obstacles to healing, support and justice
Discover revolutionary solutions to overcome them and create abuse free futures
Begin to heal the divide between those who have experienced abuse and professionals working to protect us all
Gain knowledge and insight to break cycles and create positive change in your every day and professional life
Find new and innovative resources to improve your practice and expand your toolkit
At Clear Path UK we believe that to fix a problem, we must first acknowledge it and discover its root causes.
In the words of Desmund Tutu
“We must stop pulling people out of the water. We must go upstream and find out why they are falling in.”
This event is designed to help us to reach more people with our message and mission.
We also raise funds though the conference to deliver The Four Cornerstones of Healing programme to survivors for free.
After escaping abuse the majority of survivors often suffer with debilitating trauma-induced issues. Claire created our programme to enable survivors to access trauma-informed healing tools that are otherwise unavailable in the UK due to long waiting lists and investigations procedures.
Being able to access our programme means that they can understand and manage their triggers, take back control of their lives and flourish beyond the trauma and abuse. We aim to make valuable, trauma-informed and accessible healing resources readily and freely available to all survivors of abuse.
We have been delivering our healing from trauma and abuse programme for over 2 years and our resources have now helped over 1000 people impacted by the trauma of abuse.
This 10 week interactive programme can be delivered virtually or in person for two hours each week with exercises and goals for service users to achieve at each stage.
The programme focuses on teaching how to understand obstacles and triggers to develop healthy coping mechanisms and life skills.
There are four cornerstones (or technique groups), which used together build a powerfully strong foundation for healing and post-traumatic growth. These follow on from and solidify each other, to enable survivors of abuse to manage triggers and create coping mechanisms for living life after abuse.
The programme empowers them to move beyond their abuse into a happy, peaceful and fulfilled life.
Because everyone deserves an abuse free future.

Rachels thoughts
"I first came across Claire Louise Chamberlains work 4 years ago and was blown away by her commitment and drive. I have volunteered my services as a guest host supporting Claire on her first Clear Path UK Conference because I believe in the vital cause and Claire's ability to push the campaign forward. I have always found her professional, knowledgeable, honest and passionate about her work. She has created a strong community of support from like-minded people.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know Claire and would recommend her to anyone wanting to work with her in the future. I'm looking forward to continuing to support this years Clear Path UK Conference and watching how Claire grows and reaches more that need her services."
