BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective Celebrates 3 Years as Leading Community for Trauma Therapists

Founded by Dr. Jenny Hughes, the online membership community has supported hundreds of trauma therapists worldwide, impacting thousands of trauma survivors

HOUSTON, TX, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BRAVE Providers, LLC proudly announces the third anniversary of The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective, marking three years of comprehensive support for trauma therapists navigating vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Since its founding, the community has become a foundational resource for mental health professionals who specialize in trauma work, offering evidence-based strategies and peer support to prevent burnout and enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective is marking three years of comprehensive support for trauma therapists navigating vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout.

Founded by award-winning trauma psychologist Dr. Jenny Hughes, PhD, The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective addresses a critical gap in the mental health field by providing dedicated support to those who care for trauma survivors. The online membership community operates on the principle of supporting trauma therapists as "humans first and trauma therapists second," creating a safe space for professionals to address the unique challenges of their work and helping to decrease burnout and workforce loss within the mental health profession.

"Trauma therapists do incredibly important work, but they shouldn't have to do it alone," said a media spokesperson for BRAVE Providers, LLC. "Over these three years, we've witnessed the transformative power of community support. When trauma therapists have a space to be human and vulnerable, share their experiences, and receive genuine support from peers who understand the unique challenges of this work, they can continue providing exceptional care without sacrificing their own well-being."

Key Achievements Over Three Years:

• Global Reach: The community has expanded to include members from North America, Europe, and Australia, creating an international network of trauma therapy professionals
• Comprehensive Resources: Development of The BRAVE Resource Library with multimedia content updated monthly, available 24/7 to members
• Evidence-Based Framework: Implementation of the proprietary "Name It, Tame It, Reframe It" approach to managing vicarious trauma
• Accessibility Commitment: Maintaining membership at just $12 per month to ensure all trauma therapists can access support regardless of financial circumstances
• Educational Impact: Dr. Hughes has authored two books – "The PTSD Recovery Workbook" and "The Triggers to Glimmers Vicarious Resilience Workbook and Journal" – furthering the collective's educational mission

The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective utilizes the HeartBeat app platform to host video calls, facilitate peer connections, and provide access to all content. Members benefit from regular consultation calls, supportive 24/7 chat for real-time support, and access to continuing education opportunities.

"The impact of vicarious trauma on mental health professionals is often overlooked, yet it's one of the leading causes of therapist burnout," continued the spokesperson. "By creating a dedicated space where trauma therapists can process their experiences, learn evidence-based coping strategies, and connect with peers who truly understand the weight of this work, we're not just supporting therapists, we're strengthening the entire mental health care system."

Looking ahead, BRAVE Providers, LLC plans to expand The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective's offerings, including enhanced educational resources, specialized workshops, and increased sponsorship opportunities to ensure no trauma therapist is denied support due to financial barriers.
