Our vision > Democratizing access to trauma-informed care for anyone, anywhere
Although we have many science-backed treatments for trauma survivors, most trauma survivors never get quality treatment
The Problem
We have an abundance of people who can be taught to deliver therapy
Most people own a phone/smartphone, which can be used to train and to augment direct services for trauma survivors
We have plenty of assessments and treatments backed by science, that we can culturally adapt
We know enough about scaling treatments, so we can create anywhere from single-session packages of care to multi-session complex treatments to suit all needs
The Opportunity
Innovating (1) scalable trainings and (2) scalable treatments to improve population coverage for those needing care
Working in partnership with communities and health systems to integrate these scalable treatments into multiple pathways
The Solution
Latest Studies
