2027 (MAY): 38th ANNUAL INT’L TRAUMA CONFERENCE (CPD/CE Credits Available)

From May 19th to 22nd, 2027, the Trauma Research Foundation and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk are hosting the 38th Annual Boston International Trauma Conference – an extraordinary gathering that brings together global leaders in trauma research, clinical practice, and healing.

In New York City for the first time, this conference focuses on integrating clinical wisdom with science and research, emphasizing the importance of community, innovation, and accessibility of treatment during challenging times. 

2027 (SEPT): TRANSFORM TRAUMA OXFORD (CPD/CE Credits Available)

Transform Trauma Oxford 2027 will bring together leading voices across trauma research, psychotherapy, neuroscience, spirituality, embodiment, conflict resolution, leadership, education, indigenous wisdom and community healing to examine healing at every level – from the nervous system to the collective.

The event will explore belonging and identity; collective and intergenerational trauma; political polarisation and reconciliation; loneliness and digital culture; spirituality and meaning; community and resilience; and the restoration of trust, safety and shared humanity.

At its heart, this theme asks not only how we help people survive trauma, but how we help individuals, communities and societies reconnect with what makes us human.
