The UK Covid-19 Inquiry has been set up to examine the UK’s response to and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and learn lessons for the future. It is an independent public inquiry.

Hestia has been providing trauma-informed emotional support for the Inquiry since 2022. Our aim is to offer support, guidance, and emotional containment for people engaging with the Inquiry who may have felt distressed by their contact with the Inquiry, and/or find that past trauma in relation to the pandemic has been triggered. 

Hestia's support includes providing opportunities to:

• Discuss any concerns and feelings related to the Inquiry in a safe and confidential manner.
• Share a range of effective techniques and skills for managing difficult emotions and memories.
• Jointly develop personal strategies to help you maintain your wellbeing as you engage with the Inquiry.
