You Asked, We Listened! Since CPTSD Foundation began, we’ve understood the criticial role that supportive partners play in the life of a trauma survivor. Spouses, partners, caregivers, siblings; anyone who is directly involved in the daily life of an adult survivor of complex trauma.
This program provides that safe place of encouragement, support, information, and validation that supportive partners and helpers need. You are safe here, and among others who understand the challenges of helping a survivor navigate daily life.
Read on to learn more about this unique program that focuses on encouraging and equipping you, the supportive partner, as you not only help care for the survivor in your life, but also for yourself.
What is Trauma-Informed Partner Support (TIPS) and how does this program work?
This program focuses solely on providing a safe, supportive, and informative place for anyone who is involved in the life of a trauma-survivor. Spouses, partners, caregivers, siblings, close friends, colleagues; you are a vitally important aspect of healing and support for the survivor in your life.
Your role as a supporter can make all the difference for someone who is navigating daily life in the wake of a traumatic past. Your compassion and dedication to providing a safe place for the survivor in your life, means they have that space to “just be.” That type of space shows them that not only are you safe and you are on their side, but also models the type of people they want to seek out as they continue to grow and form new relationships of all types.
Your survivor likely has a therapist, coach, support group, and other resources to aid in their recovery; however, as a supporter, you need help and access to resources as well.
This program is for you!
Along with being able to interact in our online safe groups, you’ll have access to additional important resources including:
- Live calls on Saturdays and Sundays: These calls give you the opportunity to share your experiences and ask questions in a safe group atmosphere.
- Library of self-paced videos: Our team shares weekly content that you can do at your own pace, at any time that fits your schedule. These short, “bite-sized” videos include meditation, Reiki, yoga classes, trauma-informed education, tips & best practices for supporting yourself and the survivor in your life, self-care, and more!
Our goal in creating this program is to not only provide you with information and validation, but also to ensure that you are taking care of yourself in the process. Your health and well-being are just as important as that of the survivor in your life.
