Justice as Trauma

“Justice as Trauma is truly a conference like no other, with a critical approach that tells us that there's no justice without healing.”

“One of the most profound conferences I have ever attended. I was held, nourished and inspired.”

“JAT2025 was one of the most validating experiences of my life. I got to see, hear, and speak to those who care about what I do, that move through the world in similar ways, and want to see things get better.”

“This is the best conference I've been to. It was life-changing. Everything was thoughtfully curated, from the venue to the speakers to the self-care supports and spaces. Best of all, though, was the community.”

“So many times during JAT2024 I was texting my colleagues back home ‘We need to talk about this!’ and ‘You should be here!’ This conference brought so many profound and important conversations together.”

“Transformative. Period.”

“An event like none other I have attended. We were a room of 300 yet the space was made to feel like a living room, intimate and safe to share emotion in.”

“I felt like we were one big community, striving toward the same goals with love and respect and support. This is what it meant to be in an Indigenous-led space!”

“I’ve never felt truly safe with a room full of hundreds of people until now. These are people who give me hope and I am so grateful to have been there amongst them.”
