Cycles of Trauma and the Journey to Wellbeing

We're inviting a global dialogue to center trauma at the heart of social change work.

With a growing collective consciousness about the impacts of intergenerational trauma, we aspire to encourage healing and wellbeing for everyone—everywhere.

Welcome

Trauma is everywhere—in our homes, communities, institutions, and systems.

In social change work, we also see trauma at the roots of the biggest challenges facing the world today—and in the lives of the people working to address them. Trauma-informed approaches to social change have the power to help unlock healing, wellbeing, and social transformation for all. Here, we invite you to explore this power, contributing to our global call to move from cycles of trauma to journeys of wellbeing.
