Experiences of psychological trauma profoundly change our relationship with our body.
The Center for Trauma and Embodiment at JRI is dedicated to creating body-first models of care for survivors of complex trauma.
We recognize that complex trauma is both interpersonal and systemic and that quality care models require attention to both dynamics. In the course of developing our programs, we commit to a continuous process of learning through actively engaging in relationships with survivors of complex trauma, practitioners and community leaders from wide-ranging perspectives in order to inform our work and our growth as an organization.
Proceeds provide direct service initiatives to survivors of trauma through our programming, public classes, and trainings.
