Our Work

Action Trauma is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting awareness of psychological trauma and supporting trauma recovery across local, national, and international communities. Our work focuses on building understanding, connection, and collaboration across sectors including health, social care, education, justice, and community settings.

A key part of our work is delivering large-scale CPD-accredited events, including the internationally attended Trauma Summit, bringing together leading voices in neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, therapy, and lived experience to deepen understanding of trauma and improve trauma-informed practice.
