Mission/Objectives

The Trauma SIG is dedicated to alleviating human suffering by promoting psychological flexibility in individuals affected by trauma, as well as naming and engaging the broader contextual and structural forces that contribute to, and maintain, the experience of trauma. We are committed to supporting the advancement of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other CBS based psychotherapeutic approaches in the treatment of various forms of trauma related suffering.

Vision

Our vision is to create a professional network dedicated to understanding and addressing the impact of trauma on individuals' behavioral repertoires through evidence-based contextual behavioral approaches. By fostering collaboration among researchers and practitioners in the fields of ACT and contextual behavioral sciences, the Trauma SIG aims to alleviate human suffering through the sharing of knowledge and experiences, strengthening communities impacted by trauma.

We envision a compassionate global community that improves clinical outcomes, advocates for marginalized populations, and ensures that trauma-informed care is accessible to all.
