Who we are...

Our Vision

To inspire a world where individuals and communities wholeheartedly embrace their common humanity and are empowered to nurture their inherent resiliency.

Our Mission

• The Trauma Resource Institute (TRI) is an international non-profit focused on taking people from despair to hope through simple skills-based interventions based on cutting-edge research about the brain.

• TRI fosters individual and systemic change by expanding access to biologically-based treatments by training frontline service providers, community leaders, and clinicians.

• TRI recognizes the deep wisdom found in the tapestry of the beautifully diverse human family by building local capacity to meet mental health needs in diverse communities nationally and internationally.

 Our Beliefs

As a trauma educational organization we are committed to the following values:

• Every individual, child, and adult has a natural-born resiliency.

• When a traumatic event has resulted in symptoms, individuals are entitled to treatment that is gentle, effective, and culturally sensitive.

• Education and intervention about the common reactions to traumatic experiences must be available to diverse populations and cultures.

• Treatment of individuals suffering from traumatic stress reactions must be accessible and affordable to all members of society.

• Enhancing the capacity of communities to provide for their own members rather than relying on outside “experts” creates resiliency–informed communities.
