ACTS (Access to Community Trauma Support) has two integrated missions. Firstly, we recognise the importance of supporting those who support others. These individuals working within traumatised populations are at risk of secondary trauma, work related stress and burnout. Through experiential trauma training and nervous system regulation, ACTS helps to build resilience in people on the frontlines of social care.

Secondly, we empower individuals within communities who have a natural inclination and passion for mental health support but lack formal training. We recognize the invaluable role these individuals play in providing informal mental health support within their communities. By providing them with structured training and supervision, specifically around trauma healing, we aim to enhance the quality of mental health care available at the grassroots level. We believe in leveraging existing community strengths and resources to address mental health needs sustainably.
