Apply to be part of the network of the CTRN UK
The Network
We know that so many children, young people, families and adults cannot get access to specialist mental health support when they have experienced trauma.
Our network is a collaborative growing group of trauma-informed professionals and organisations who want all services, support and interventions in people’s lives to be trauma-informed.
We are united in our belief that there is growth, life, connection, restoration and recovery beyond childhood trauma.
If you share our passion join the Childhood Trauma Recovery Network and together we will be build communities that better understand and respond to the experiences of childhood trauma.
