Where Knowledge Heals
Our Story
The Caribbean Trauma Institute was established to advance education, care, and leadership across the Caribbean through a trauma-informed approach.
Founded on the understanding that healing and excellence are mutually reinforcing, CTI brings together expertise in trauma psychology, education, leadership, and human development to foster meaningful growth across the Caribbean and its diaspora.
Our mission is to strengthen care, practice, and leadership throughout the region by equipping professionals, practitioners, and organisations with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance how individuals learn, lead, and thrive.
At CTI, we view trauma-informed education not solely as a model of treatment, but as a framework for lasting transformation.
Our Vision
To lead the Caribbean in trauma-informed, human-centred care, leadership and education by nurturing a new generation of emotionally intelligent, ethically grounded, and socially conscious professionals who positively shape their communities and institutions.
Our Mission
To provide world-class education that empowers individuals and institutions to: understand the science of trauma and human development; apply this knowledge in leadership, healthcare, business, and everyday life; and build more compassionate, resilient, and prosperous communities across the Caribbean.
