Trauma Treatment International Brief Description of Organisation Trauma Treatment International provides trauma treatment for victims of torture, trafficking, slavery and war. We also support organisations working with these victims, to become trauma informed and establish strong systems to support staff skills, knowledge and wellbeing related to trauma. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation About Us Trauma Treatment International (TTI) is a UK registered charity founded in 2017 by Dr Brock Chisholm, Dr Katy Robjant and Polly Rossdale, leading experts in the fields of human rights, trauma and organised violence. Driven by their direct experience of the lack of specialist services for victims, and of evidence- based research in trauma treatment, they established TTI to improve access to trauma treatment for the survivors of organised violence. TTI empowers organisations and communities working with trauma survivors to protect their own wellbeing, helping them care for their beneficiaries in the most effective way. Traumatic events account for 50% of all mental health problems worldwide; and yet trauma treatment is rarely available. Most victims of trauma never get the help they need to recover, which has far reaching consequences for their families, communities and the organisations who support them. Our Approach With support, love and hope every trauma survivor is given the opportunity to recover and live a fulfilled life. Evidence shows that the two most important things that can help someone recover from a traumatic experience are social contact and safety and security. There are not enough clinical psychologists in the world to provide therapy or treatment to the millions of people who are suffering from trauma right now. But when a traumatic event happens, it is possible for that person to heal through the support of their social contacts, in a place of safety and security. We can all help the people around us to have improved mental health, and not to develop post-traumatic stress disorder and even to heal from trauma. We believe that the best way to ensure healing from trauma is to create societies that are trauma informed.
