Kenya Trauma Initiative
Welcome to Kenya Trauma Initiative
At Kenya Trauma Initiative (KTI), we believe in a future where healing, resilience, and mental well-being are accessible to all. Trauma affects individuals, families, and communities, creating invisible barriers to growth, stability, and well-being. Unaddressed trauma can limit opportunities, hinder development, and perpetuate cycles of suffering.
At KTI, we are committed to breaking these cycles by integrating trauma-informed care, capacity building, and community-led healing into mental health and development programs. By working with individuals, frontline workers, and organizations, we create safe spaces for healing, equip communities with trauma-responsive tools, and strengthen resilience at all levels of society.
Our Vision
A Kenya where individuals and communities heal, grow, and build resilience beyond trauma.
Our Mission
Healing, strengthening, and building resilient communities.
