The International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC) is a network of mental health, human service, climate, education, disaster management, faith, and other organizations committed to establishing programs and policies worldwide that use a public health approach to strengthen the capacity of all adults and youth for mental wellness and resilience for all types of toxic stresses and traumas as they also engage in solutions to the climate emergency.

The combination of relentless toxic stresses and traumas is already, and will increasingly produce, a dramatic rise in mental health problems worldwide such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, complicated grief, increased suicidality, compassion fatigue, hopelessness, helplessness, and more. Personally and socially harming coping behaviors will also multiply such as alcohol and substance abuse and addiction, spousal and child abuse, crime, aggression, violence, and extremism. The combination of toxic stresses and traumas are also certain to aggravate existing and create new physical health problems such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other illnesses and diseases.

The ITRC offers workshops, webinars, and other educational opportunities for people worldwide to learn about the need and methods of instituting community-based initiatives that use a public health approach to strengthen population-level mental wellness and transformational resilience. We also run a Community of Practice that allows practitioners in many nations to learn from each other, problem solve, and expand the movement. In addition, we work at the national, state/provincial, and local levels to establish programs and policies to authorize, support, and fund these initiatives.
