International Trauma-Healing Institute
A non profit organization dedicated to global trauma healing
The International Trauma Healing Institute (ITI) is a nonprofit educational & research organization established in 2001 in the US and in 2005 in Israel by Gina Ross. ITI’s tools were chosen by the Israeli government and the Ministries of Health, Defense and Education for projects of individual and collective emotional well-being. We heal trauma at the community, national, and international level by bringing awareness to trauma as a root cause of suffering, conflict and violence; educating the public and developing healing tools.
GO TO
OUR VISION is to reduce the role of individual and collective trauma on conflict, violence and war by healing trauma, building resiliency, and applying conflict resolution skills at national and international levels.
OUR MISSION is to implement a replicable model for the prevention of trauma and stress and for conflict resolution in order to facilitate communication, tolerance and harmonious dialogue.ITI provides scientifically-proven tools for the prevention and treatment of trauma.
OUR BELIEFS This knowledge will equip these institutions with tools to diminish and prevent trauma, promote healing interventions, and open paths to more peaceful and harmonious relations between groups or nations. Helping individuals, communities and nations in conflict heal their traumas and build resilience against traumatic stress increases their competence for conflict resolution.
OUR SOLUTION
ITI provides effective and cost-efficient information, support, training programs and coordination to allow people to move from suffering to healing.
ITI empowers people and existing organizations to facilitate healing and conflict resolution by:
Promoting AWARENESS of the impact of collective trauma on individuals, communities, groups or nations
Providing CUTTING-EDGE PROCESS mediation collective healing to understand and communicate with the adversary, facilitating conflict resolution, paving the way for productive diplomatic efforts and political agreements.
Providing TOOLS of Emotional First Aid to nine social sectors to build national resilience for the chronically traumatically stressed populations.
INTEGRATING these programs in existing social structures allowing the choice to navigate a trauma-driven world with resiliency and coping skills for stress, conflict and violence
OUR HISTORY
A non-profit organization established in 2001, has two branches. ITI-USA is the first institute established to address the role collective trauma plays in conflicts and violence and to design a unique model for healing trauma at national levels.
ITI’s innovative contribution, The Ross Model: Working with the Collective Nervous System, provides nations with a process to choose the path of healing even when under pervasive traumatic stress. Formalized in 2007, ITI-Israel implements the model in Israel to develop national resiliency and create unity within Israel, and in the Palestinian territories to promote dialogue between the two sides.
The model helps identify the individuals and groups under traumatic stress and offers them a path toward healing, guiding them from disconnection, miscommunication and violence to connection, dialogue and peace. The path from the “trauma vortex” to the “healing vortex” leads people to compassion, understanding and promotes real transformation. The model can be replicated and applied worldwide.

EFAST is a gentle, simple, organic and compassionate technique. It helps us focus on our deepest resources and to connect with our innate ability to heal (healing vortex).

suffering.

She went to Rwanda in August 2001 with psychologists working with the government, journalists, and non-governmental organizations to help that country heal from the 1994 genocide. That domestic American journalists could be affected by their work was a foreign concept in 2000. Still, she joined the effort to aid others, particularly war correspondents, out of a sense of obligation to those who have put their lives on the line. Then, Sept. 11 took the lives of more than 150 people in the Asbury Park Press coverage area. Elaine was called upon to help their newsroom deal with the disaster and served as an internal staff “ombudsman,” advocating for sensitive coverage and journalist's; needs. In addition to reporting on the aftermath and going into the homes of those who lost loved ones, she helped coordinate coverage, attended news meetings, helped reporters with communications issues, and suggested names of staffers who needed to be rotated in and out of the story. She arranged for critical response teams to debrief the staff and took care packages of food to the reporters in the bureaus. She reported stories on the psychological consequences of the disaster. She was able to help a newsroom through the worst disaster this country has ever experienced.
