Our mission
Trauma Center Belgium strives to play a leading role in promoting understanding, education and awareness around trauma. Our goal is to support both professionals, individuals and the community in recognizing, understanding and treating trauma and trauma sequelae. Through education, awareness and hands-on guidance, we strengthen the capacity of individuals, organizations and the community to act and heal trauma-sensitively.
