ICTP is today a world-recognized innovator in the research and treatment of the widespread effects of trauma.
ICTP experts train hundreds of mental health professionals to meet the diverse needs of trauma survivors each year. Cutting-edge programs developed by ICTP experts use advanced methods for treating post-traumatic symptoms and reinforcing natural coping mechanisms.
