GLOBAL TRAUMA PROJECT
Building Capacity for Healing, Empowerment & Transformation
Global Trauma Project is a capacity-building organization located in Kenya that supports local providers in Eastern Africa, to implement trauma-informed initiatives. GTP has developed the "Trauma-Informed Change Making" model, a proven model to promote individual and community wellness.
Our goal is to support local change-makers in increasing resilience and reducing the impacts of gender-based violence, compounded stress and intergenerational trauma by training, mentoring, and certifying trusted community members to facilitate trauma-informed programming in a manner that is accessible, culturally-relevant, and proven to show significant impact.
GTP works towards integrating a trauma-informed approach into existing structures and systems for greater sustainability and impact.
OUR VISION
We envision a future where every individual has access to high-quality mental health care that is accessible, affordable, and culturally relevant.
