ABOUT US
The Healing and CPTSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by survivor and advocate, Danielle Carpio, dedicated to advancing awareness, education, research, advocacy, and support for people impacted by Complex PTSD.
Our mission is to transform systems so trauma survivors receive the collective care they deserve.
Through public education, survivor-led research, advocacy initiatives, and future healing grants, we work to improve how Complex PTSD is understood, recognized, researched, and supported. By increasing awareness, amplifying survivor voices, and advancing systems change, we strive to create a future where survivors are no longer unseen, unsupported, or excluded from the systems designed to help them.
