How We Differ:
We are dedicated to supporting professionals from all disciplines during the most challenging stage of recovery: Safety & Stabilisation, traditionally known as crisis support. This stage is essential for both clinicians and non-clinicians working with traumatised clients in any context. In addition to qualified mental health professionals, we also support a diverse range of professionals, including social workers, physical health professionals, complementary therapists, educators, legal professionals, first responders, humanitarian workers, coaches, and many others.
More about us:
-
We don’t replace the professional bodies that regulate you. Instead, we build bridges across disciplines, ensuring both trauma survivors and professionals like you benefit.
-
We are experts in crisis and stabilisation work, supporting diverse professionals and entire agencies. Our expertise spans working with asylum seekers, refugees, survivors of torture and rape, as well as addressing crises such as natural disasters, terrorism, mass violence, incidents in the air industry, active war zones, domestic violence, social services, schools, workplaces, and beyond—both in the UK and worldwide.
Paid Memberships provide a significant source of funding for the Complex Trauma Institute (CTI), they sustain events that support our professional community & research programmes to develop our knowledge in the field of complex trauma.
