  • Sun 17 August - Fri 22 August, 9:00am - 5:00pm

The fifth Childhood Trauma Conference will explore transformative approaches to healing trauma, through connection, collaboration, and community.

Delegates in attendance will embark on a journey of growth through engaging with reflexive praxis. Through workshops, advanced masterclasses, keynote presentations and more, together we will delve into the complexities of childhood trauma and its profound impacts, finding pathways to transforming lives through integrating insights, techniques, and best practices. Fostering a deeper understanding of how to facilitate healing through our work, the theme Transforming trauma: connection and healing will reinforce that healing is not a solitary process, but a collective journey, built within communities, with compassion and love. Join the over 12,000 past delegates who have attended previous iterations of the Conference, and develop your knowledge and practice in 2025.
