TREATI
is a nonprofit organization, formed in 1996 to support mental health and other social service
professionals in their work with trauma survivors. TREATI pursues this
mission through research, community education, and professional training related
to traumatic stress and vicarious traumatization.
TREATI projects are designed and implemented by collaborators from around the world. TREATI is
engaged in an ongoing program of support and assistance in Rwanda. For related
information please visit
www.heal-reconcile-rwanda.org. This site describes the Advancing Healing and
Reconciliation project. Also see
www.labenevolencija.org.
The Risking Connection (RC) curriculum and training program represent an
important step toward changing the delivery of social and psychological services
to trauma survivors (www.RiskingConnection.com).
To learn more about these and other TREATI projects,
read our 2006 annual report.
TSI/CAAP’s principals founded TREATI to allow for the development of
research, an expanded professional education and training program, and community
education on the impact of trauma on survivors. TREATI supports
therapists and front-line workers in trauma work and takes trauma
expertise and that of colleagues across the country beyond the therapy office
into the lives of people affected by trauma: prisoners, refugees, school
children, those living in violent homes and cities, and front line workers who
encounter trauma on a daily basis.
Want to Help?
Over the past few years the work of TREATI has been funded through an
Unrestricted Educational Grant from Pfizer, Inc., private donations
from mental health professionals and other individuals, foundation and
governmental grants, and
contracts.
Too many people have suffered for too long. Your contributions to TREATI
can help to change this. Through research, community education and professional
training we can make a difference. For more information contact Patricia Wilcox,
Executive Director, at patw@klingberg.org.

Opportunities for Youth
Global Youth Connect, an international human rights organization for
youth, is organizing a series of human rights delegations for young
leaders (ages 18-25) from the U.S. to travel to Rwanda with the goal of
promoting cross-cultural action and understanding on human rights issues
and supporting and inspiring who are interested in becoming more active
in promoting and protecting human rights in Rwanda and in other
countries and communities. GYC will be leading its first delegation to
Rwanda in January 2005. For more information on GYC’s program in Rwanda
