We are a diverse team of professionals living and practicing throughout the Pacific Islands, gathered to learn more about complex trauma and bring these trainings into our communities.  

In 2025-2026 we started the Complex Trauma Training Consortium (CTTC) training program and aim to be fully rostered for all 20 modules by late 2026.

We are able to provide trainings to your group or community by request. Please review our site and contact us with your request!

We acknowledge that every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We contribute to this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth. 

We gather on the ancestral lands of the Hawaiian Kingdom. We acknowledge that her majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her people, and we recognize the ongoing impacts of the overthrow and colonization on Native Hawaiian communities.

We acknowledge the Chamorro people of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, whose ancestors have cared for and sustained their  islands for countless generations.We recognize the enduring impacts of colonization, war, militarization, and displacement, while honoring the Chamorro people’s continued connection to their ancestral lands, cultural traditions, language, and the ongoing preservation of their cultural identity .

We acknowledge the people of American Samoa, whose faʻa Samoa, the Samoan way of life, has sustained generations through deep commitments to family, community, cultural traditions, and stewardship of the land and sea. We honor the continued strength of these cultural systems and the preservation of Samoan language, identity, Indigenous knowledge, and ways of being across generations.

We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today.
