We are pleased to share the announcement of the 2026 International Trauma Recovery Conference: From Trauma to Hope – Innovation through the Integration of Trauma, Technology, and Art.

This international conference brings together cutting-edge research, real-world practice, and innovative approaches that integrate technology and art to support trauma recovery and foster hope. It offers a unique space for dialogue across disciplines and communities, welcoming not only professionals but also individuals interested in trauma recovery for themselves, their families, or their communities.

🎙️ We are especially proud to feature our very own Prof. Kleio Koutra — Associate Professor and Director of the SoRSoW Lab, Department of Social Work, Hellenic Mediterranean University, and member of EASSW and MiStory Greece board committee,  as one of the distinguished speakers.
Prof. Koutra’s work on trauma recovery and social work represents the strength of European scholarship combined with deeply human, compassionate practice. We are honored to see her contribute to this important global dialogue.
