In SURE, we collaborate and engage with a wide range of (often survivor-controlled) groups, research centres and organisations. Information and contact details for some of our partner organisations can be found below.

Traumascapes is a survivor-led organisation dedicated to changing the ecosystem of trauma and creating new horizons for survivors. Traumascapes combines lived expertise, art, and science into six workstreams: research, consultancy, education, advocacy, community, and healing. Together, these workstreams aim to understand trauma and develop new embodied healing approaches; equip professionals and institutions with the skills to work sensitively with lived experience; build knowledge of trauma; rewrite the sociocultural narrative of trauma; disrupt violent societies with safety and mutuality; and support survivors to heal through survivor-led creative therapeutic approaches. Traumascapes’ vision is a world that fosters safety and freedom to be, with a culture of understanding and mutuality, where healing is led by survivors, trauma is transformed, and joy is claimed.

The ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health exists to ensure that the impact of social context is central to how we think about and understand mental health. Research within the Centre aims to improve our understanding of the complex interrelationships between society and mental health; create platforms that enable new collaborations between disciplines and with community partners; and work closely with service users/survivors, communities, practitioners, and policy makers to design and assess novel evidence-based strategies for prevention and intervention.
