What we dream to build...
We wish to develop this initiative in partnership with trauma specialists, educators, and youth advocates. Concepts we wish to include:
- Understanding Trauma – what trauma is, how it affects the brain, body, and behaviour.
- Recognising Behaviours – how trauma can look different for everyone (withdrawal, aggression, risk-taking, perfectionism, self-destructive behaviour, substance abuse, hypersexuality, numbness and so on).
- Self-Compassion & Healing – normalising reactions, reducing shame, and learning practical coping tools.
- Respect – understanding consent, boundaries, and self-worth through a trauma-aware lens.
- Teacher Training – practical strategies for recognising and supporting trauma-affected students.
"Some wounds can’t be seen — but they can be understood."
The Silent Suffering
Building Awareness, Safety, and Change — One Conversation at a Time.
Our Approach
We’re building this program on the foundations of trauma-informed practice — safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and choice.
Our vision is to create a framework that combines evidence-based psychology with relatable, accessible learning for students. The goal is to make trauma education approachable, sensitive, and empowering — not confronting or clinical.
Every element of the program will be designed with expert input to ensure it’s emotionally safe and effective.
We’re currently reaching out for interested parties to help. We want and need educators, psychologists, and trauma specialists to refine the framework and prepare for a pilot phase.
