Blue Knot provides information and support for anyone who is affected by complex trauma. Complex trauma is repeated, ongoing, and often extreme interpersonal trauma (between people) – violence, abuse, neglect or exploitation experienced as a child, young person and adult.

If you are a professional, work with survivors, and are looking for training, practice or organisational support,  please visit our Professional community.
