Our story
Trauma hurts. Empathy heals!
The Dr. Alauna Trauma Recovery Institute (DA-TRI, pronounced “The Try”) was founded in 2018, with the mission to become the world’s leading resource for mental health education and trauma recovery.
Upon retiring from clinical medicine, Dr. Alauna leaned into her mission to education the public about the predictable yet invisible impact of psychological trauma on our brain, body and behavior, collectively shaping our individual and societal systems.
DA-TRI is the home of the Trauma Recovery Academy, an membership-based online educational platform for providers and laypersons alike to engage in the groundbreaking Empathy Skills Practice™ methodology, learning a practical Skills Over Pills, mind-body-spirit approach to healing from trauma.
