Our Mission & Story
Efforts to create both collective and individual wellbeing by engaging constructively and compassionately with the complexity of lived experience.
The Trauma Informed Community Action C.I.C. emerged from an established informal network across the UK that was built after a national Trauma summit in 2019. It was originally supported by NHS-England and the Academic Health Science Network of the North East and North Cumbria. It evolved into a social enterprise after an options appraisal to deliver outputs for a grant from Health Education England.
