THE CPTSD ALLIANCE
We believe CPTSD is real — and the world needs to start acting like it.
The CPTSD Alliance is a united front of survivors, advocates, clinicians, and changemakers committed to truth, visibility, and systemic reform. Together, we’re pushing for real recognition, trauma-informed accountability, and survivor-centered healing.
WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
-
Recognition of CPTSD as a valid diagnosis — starting with DSM inclusion
-
Trauma-informed policies in healthcare, education, and law enforcement
-
The end of systemic gaslighting and diagnostic neglect
-
Visibility for marginalized voices within trauma spaces
OUR BELIEFS
CPTSD is not rare — it’s just rarely recognized.
Its absence from systems is not an oversight. It’s an injustice.
Survivors are not broken.
We are living proof of resilience in a world that denied us safety, language, and care.
Healing is not linear, polite, or performative.
It is messy, radical, and deeply personal. And it deserves protection, not performance.
Awareness without action is performance.
We reject empty optics and demand structural change.
Survivorship is political.
The systems that harm us must be held accountable — from healthcare to education, justice to media.
Trauma-informed is the bare minimum.
We stand for trauma-responsible, trauma-integrated, and survivor-led care.
Every survivor deserves to be named, not erased.
No more gaslighting. No more denial. No more being left out of diagnoses, policy, or protection.
Community care is real care.
We are stronger when we rise together — intersectional, inclusive, and unwilling to leave anyone behind.
Recognition is not the end goal — it’s the starting point.
We won’t stop at awareness. We are building a world where healing is a right, not a privilege.
