Hello and welcome!
We’re so glad you’re here. This forum has been created to support professionals like you — across all sectors — working with trauma-affected individuals. Inside, you’ll find a treasure trove of resources, toolkits, guidance, news, and practical tools, all designed to make your professional life a little easier, safer, and more effective.
A few important things to know:
The resource forums are read-only to keep them clean, organised, and easy to navigate. Some resources may appear in multiple forums for convenience — but not all — so do explore across all areas to uncover everything we’ve created.
Use the search bar at the top right to find exactly what you need: search by keywords like “vicarious trauma”, “CCE”, or any other topic.
Open forums for engagement:
Peer Support & Collaboration – a safe, open space where you can ask questions, share challenges, collaborate, or just vent after a tough day. Real-time support from professionals who understand your world.
Organisation Directory – a space for verified organisations to share services, collaborations, and opportunities. A quick, easy way to connect with other organisations for support or referrals.
Quarterly Network Forums
Join our network meetings to connect, share best practices, and influence the creation of new resources. Your ideas help us build this forum into a true one-stop shop for professional knowledge and tools.
Survivors Action Forum (SAF)
This space is exclusive to survivors. You can see the titles, but access is restricted. Survivor input here informs resource creation, policy improvements, and systemic change — a vital part of our work. Please respect this safe space.
