What is Trauma Informed Community Development?

“In the hour of this kind of suffering there is a great need for us to be present.”

As informed by the lived experience of trauma, both personal and collective, Trauma Informed Community Development is a framework that establishes and promotes resilient healing and healthy communities so that people can be healthy enough to sustain opportunity and realize their potential.

More than an organization, we’re a movement working to create stronger communities.

  • Engage, Heal & Empower Your Community

In TICD Community Support is therefore is the beginning of the engagement process.

Leadership Development

As the population heals, they must then become leaders and thus agents of great positive change in their communities. In TICD the work of Leadership Development is therefore knighting the oppressed in order to attain true personal and community transformation.
