Nosso time Bloom

Nosso time vem de todos os cantos do mundo. As experiências das pessoas sobreviventes e as muitas maneiras como nossas identidades afetam nossa experiência do trauma importam profundamente para nós, já que grande parte do nosso time também é composto de pessoas sobreviventes.

Nossa rede de pessoas voluntárias

A Chayn começou como uma rede voluntária de pessoas sobreviventes e aliadas que queriam criar um espaço feminista online para a troca de informações, solidariedade e recuperação conjunta. Nossa rede de pessoas voluntárias continua a ter um papel importante em informar, revisar e desenhar nossos serviços.

Nossa equipe terapêutica

Nós co-criamos nossos cursos com uma rede de profissionais terapêuticos certificados que praticam uma abordagem feminista e informada sobre trauma. Temos terapeutas ao redor de todo o mundo, com habilidades em muitos idiomas.

Time de apoio

Nosso time ampliado nos ajudou a editar, escrever e gravar os vídeos dos nossos cursos, e algumas dessas pessoas também oferecem apoio no chat individual. Elas trazem consigo uma enorme riqueza de conhecimentos e experiências de vida, e foram treinadas pela Chayn. Você pode até cruzar com alguém que está fisicamente no mesmo lugar que você!
