About us
Transformation through trauma-informed practice
What we stand for
We believe that a trauma-informed approach is not merely a set of tactics or skills but a transformative value that changes how we see others. This value underpins every thriving relationship and community.
By understanding and accepting that trauma’s invisible threads weave through the tapestry of our daily lives, we champion the values of acceptance, inclusion, diversity, understanding and lived experience.
We cultivate environments where every person’s experiences are acknowledged and their well-being is prioritised. We work with you to create spaces where individuals feel safe, valued and equipped to reach their full potential.
We commit to trauma-informed methods because they foster resilience, empathy and a shared understanding between people and within teams.
This is not just about responding to trauma that has happened in the past but rather pre-emptively creating cultures that reduce its occurrence through awareness, sensitivity, and proactive support. By enabling individuals to navigate their personal, professional and social lives with an informed and compassionate outlook, we see enhanced participation, improved learning and skill development within a robust and inclusive culture.
Cor Effect stands for these principles because we’ve witnessed their power. We’ve seen how they change workplaces and lives. Our unwavering dedication to a trauma-informed approach is a testament to our heart, which beats for the betterment of every individual we serve.
The trauma-informed approach is a transformative value that changes how we see others.

Who we are
In the middle of a global pandemic, a small group of professionals committed to taking action based on their experiences working on the front lines.
They had experienced frustration, grief and dismay at watching the people they work with suffer from mental health issues, income stress, job losses, court appearances, the denial of essential service provision, violence and, too often, suicide. As one of them said, “We just got tired of going to court and attending funerals for people that could have been helped. So, we decided to do something about it.”
Today, the team has grown because those few professionals found their experience was not an isolated one.
We are dedicated to fostering resilient and connected communities with trauma-informed approaches. We invest in leaders, workers, educators, young people, students, non-profits, and allied health workers with tailored training and support.
Our team comprises seasoned professionals from various sectors, including community services, education, healthcare, and corporate. Each member brings a wealth of experience and knowledge underpinned by qualifications in psychology, youth work, social work, and education.
We are practitioners who use evidence-based research to train and support others so that their experiences can be a source of hope rather than despair.
Together, we strive to bring about systemic change so everyone has equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and community-based services.
We’re still on the front lines working beside you.
