Become a Licensed BeyondTrauma™ Facilitator
ACCPH Accredited Level 4 Diploma in Trauma-Informed Facilitation
Deliver a nationally recognised survivor-led trauma recovery programme. Build a credible professional practice. Become part of a movement transforming trauma-informed care.
The BeyondTrauma™ Facilitator Qualification, created and authored by Mayameen Meftahi BEM, is far more than an online diploma.
It is your pathway to becoming a Licensed BeyondTrauma™ Facilitator, authorised to deliver the official BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme™ under licence from BeyondTrauma Academy CIC.
Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking to strengthen your trauma-informed practice or someone seeking a meaningful new professional direction, this qualification equips you with the knowledge, confidence, practical skills and professional recognition to support others safely, ethically and effectively.
This is not a “quick certificate.”
It is a comprehensive, professionally accredited qualification that combines lived experience, trauma-informed education, real-world observation, reflective practice, safeguarding, governance and ongoing professional support.
🌿 Why BeyondTrauma™?
The BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme™ wasn’t created from theory alone.
It was born from lived experience, shaped through years of professional practice, refined through commissioned delivery and strengthened through continuous evaluation.
Created by Mayameen Meftahi BEM, following her own journey as a survivor of childhood abuse and trauma, the programme has become one of the UK’s leading survivor-led psychoeducational interventions.
Today it has:
Successfully secured over £30,000 in funded programme delivery.
Been commissioned by charities, schools and community organisations.
Supported hundreds of survivors across the UK.
Received national recognition and professional accreditation.
Evolved into a protected, licensed methodology governed by BeyondTrauma Academy CIC.
When you qualify, you don’t simply gain a diploma.
You become part of a survivor-led movement committed to raising standards across trauma-informed practice.

While most learners choose to become Licensed BeyondTrauma™ Facilitators, we recognise that some professionals simply wish to deepen their trauma-informed knowledge within their existing role.
For this reason, the BeyondTrauma™ Facilitator Qualification may also be completed as a Qualification Only Pathway.
This pathway includes:
✔ Full ACCPH Accredited Level 4 Diploma
✔ Complete online curriculum
✔ Knowledge checks and assignments
✔ Live Professional Evaluation
✔ Eligibility for ACCPH Professional Membership (optional)
This pathway does not include:

61Inner Child Healing: Facilitator Observation Session
This session is a real recording of a live workshop delivered as part of the BeyondTrauma approach to inner child healing.
It offers a unique opportunity to observe how this modality is held in practice within a group setting, including the language, pacing, emotional attunement, and facilitation style used to support safe and meaningful inner child work.
This is not a scripted teaching session, but a genuine reflection of live delivery, allowing you to witness the nuances of holding space, responding to participants, and guiding inner healing in real time.
This resource is provided for observation and professional development, to deepen your understanding of trauma-informed facilitation and support you in developing your own authentic approach.
