Share your story

"Stories are the currency of human contact." - Robert McKee

Do you believe in the power of trauma-informed policy and practice to build healing and resilience? Have you experienced positive impacts in your life or community through the trauma-informed approach? Then consider sharing your story!

SUBMIT YOUR WRITTEN STORY

SUBMIT VIDEO ON TRANSFORMING TRAUMA

Impactful story-telling can help policymakers, media, and the public better understand the larger picture on how and why traumatic experiences are influenced by social and systemic forces. Sharing your experience can also help others realize they're not alone and/or that healing and building resilience are possible.

CTIPP will only utilize your story to help educate and advocate for trauma-informed policy and practice, and our submission form lets you determine how your story will be shared.
