Complex Trauma Program (CTP)
What is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma refers to cumulative, underlying, and often interpersonal trauma, commonly from childhood. Complex trauma can also occur as a result of children's and adults' experience of violence within the community. Complex trauma has substantial long-term impacts on emotional and physical health, relationships and daily functioning. It has been established that with the right support trauma can be resolved; people can and do recover.
