Restoring the Self and Care of our Community

THEN believes that Care of the Community includes addressing the roots of trauma and injustice – and using reflection and action to redefine accountability – to ourselves, to others and to the world.

Research has shown that up to 80% of clinicians have a personal history of significant trauma.  Additionally, all clinicians experience Secondary Trauma everyday by taking care of others with illness and suffering.
