About Global Trauma Project (GTP)
Global Trauma Project builds capacity for healing, empowerment, and transformation by training, mentoring and certifying community providers to heal and prevent the impacts of gender-based violence, intergenerational trauma and toxic stress.
GTP's utilizes the "Trauma-Informed Change-Making" model, to provide capacity-building support to organizations, government and communities, ensuring that change happens on both systemic and local levels.
GTP works in three ways:
1) Building local capacity for trauma-informed, healing-centered programming: GTP equips civil society organizations with knowledge and skills to co-design and deliver culturally-relevant, trauma-informed programs in their communities.
2) Strengthening existing systems and structures to mainstream and integrate trauma-informed care: GTP mainstreams and integrates trauma-informed practices through advocacy, capacity-building, community partnerships, and cross sectoral integration, to create sustainable and impactful change.
3) GTP hosts the Institute for Trauma-Informed Change-Making, focused on 4 key areas:
- Learn: GTP provides high-quality training and mentorship in trauma-informed change-making, to national practitioners launching healing initiatives in their communities.
- Change:
GTP offers training and technical assistance to national network partners on integrating the TICM model into existing programs and systems, to prevent cycles of intergenerational trauma.
- Heal: Provide support, mentorship & impact evaluation to community change-makers offering healing-centered initiatives to reduce transmission of intergenerational trauma, within marginalized and under-resourced communities.
- Connect: Cultivate a global network of trauma-informed, healing-centered change-makers in under-resourced areas, to foster connection, share best practices, and strengthen collective impact.
