Who We Are

Rituals for Recovery is a leading organization in complex trauma prevention and trauma-responsive care. We support helping professionals and human service organizations across the country to incorporate (TRMBW™) Trauma Responsive Mind Body Wellness & Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into their work with trauma survivors. Rituals for Recovery’s training and certification in facilitating the RfR Method as a tool for transformation and healing, along with our ongoing support, strengthens our program partners’ ability to better assist the individuals and communities they serve.

A key part of our mission is to improve the health of our communities by investing in the physical, mental, and financial health of women and girls who’ve experienced gender-based violence and sexual exploitation. Help Her Recover (HHR) Trauma Relief for the Community is an arm of Rituals for Recovery dedicated to providing trauma focused support to women living with complex trauma.

Our Approach

We acknowledge the existence of systemic oppression and commit to breaking down barriers to accessing trauma recovery supports and mental health services for all people experiencing oppression by and within systems.

We believe that communities need to come together around a shared vision, approach and set of intentional actions, in order to sustainably build positive life outcomes for people impacted by trauma or adverse life events. The common purpose that we share is the concept of building “trauma-responsive communities.” These are communites that provide a brave space for members to re-experience safety and trust, and provide them with the trauma responsive care, resources, and skills to heal.

Our Philosophy

Trauma is an ever-growing public health issue that requires extensive public education. Changing health care and community culture hinges on increasing the recognition of the lifelong impact of trauma on people’s physical, mental and behavioural health, and the resulting social outcomes.

This transformation requires a paradigm shift for the helping professionals community service providers and organizations, that recognizes the significance of trauma and the importance of a whole-person approach when addressing the impacts of trauma.
