Welcome

To The NATRC

With 55 member programs across the country, the National Alliance of Trauma Recovery Centers (NATRC) provides technical assistance and training, facilitates a collaborative learning community, and serves as a catalyst to advocate for just and equitable healing services for all.

For many Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, getting mental health care isn't just about finding a provider. It's about finding one you can trust. Three barriers keep showing up: • Stigma. Mental illness still gets viewed as a private matter, or a sign of weakness, instead of a treatable health condition. That silence delays care until it's a crisis. • Access. Many communities have fewer providers of color andfewer clinics in the neighborhoods that need them most. • Cultural mistrust. Earned, not imagined, after generations of harm from inequitable treatment and harm by medical systems that failed to understand the people they were treating. This is why the Trauma Recovery Center model was designed to provide access to care, regardless of insurance or immigration status, with advocates and therapists working side by side. It is a model of care built around trust, accessibility, and collaboration. During Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we're naming the barriers because that's the first step to breaking them. #MinorityMentalHealth #BMMHM #BIPOCMentalHealth #MentalHealthEquity #HealthDisparities #TraumaRecovery #NATRC

Black/African American adults were 36% less likely than U.S. adults overall to have received mental health treatment in the past year. That's not a pipeline problem. It's a system problem. NATRC's network strives to change that, one community, and one Trauma Recovery Center at a time. #MinorityMentalHealth #BMMHM #BIPOCMentalHealth #MentalHealthEquity #HealthDisparities #TraumaRecovery #NATRC
Governor Gavin Newsom signed the 2026-27 State Budget Act on June 29, 2026, which allocates $12.5 million to support the Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) grant program across California. Because of this investment: • Five Trauma Recovery Centers remain open beginning July 1, 2026 • Thousands of survivors will continue receiving life-changing services over the next two years • Critical trauma-informed care remains available in communities across California We are incredibly grateful to Assemblywoman @asmstefani Catherine Stefani for her leadership and unwavering commitment to ensuring survivors have access to the care they deserve! While we celebrate this important victory, our work continues. California still needs a permanent, sustainable funding solution to ensure Trauma Recovery Centers can continue serving survivors without interruption.
