Northeast Ohio’s Trauma Informed Care Directory
a shared network of collective care
The Vision: create a shared wellness community where we navigate spaces + places in a new way-
where our shared humanity and equitable access to health, healing + joy lead the way-
a space where we are all invited to be part of the reckoning toward a trauma informed future
Service providers are vetted via a brief inquiry form that includes: scope of practice, professional training, lived experience relevant to scope, tenants of trauma informed care that inform their work + their learning lineage. This is not an exhaustive or definitive collection of offerings, but simply a listing of folks who I am honored to be living and practicing this work in community with, in NEO.
Always do your own research to determine if care/ providers meet your needs + feel supportive and aligned with your personal healing journey.
