About US

Foundation

The Speak Trauma Foundation recognizes that trauma can destroy lives and violence, as a major source of trauma must come to an end. Our primary objective is to provide workshop training for individuals and communities to speak out through the creation of documentary and/or storytelling videos. Speak Trauma also conducts research that examines the repercussions of trauma on individuals, families and collectives.

OUR VISION

At Speak Trauma we understand that trauma is a cultural phenomenon that is intergenerational. We seek to instruct, inspire and empower people to speak about their trauma. Finally, we provide media platforms designed to stimulate dialogue concerning trauma.
