Trauma is a universal human experience that transcends borders and cultures, impacting the lives of individuals and communities around the world. Africa, with its rich diversity and unique challenges, has seen its share of traumatic events, including conflicts, natural disasters, displacement, and interpersonal violence.
It is time to bridge mental health, particularly trauma-focused disparities, for the well-being and development of the African continent.
The African Trauma Care Alliance (ATCA) is delighted to announce the 3rd annual African Trauma Care Conference (ATCC 2024). As an organization dedicated to advocating for mental health, affordable mental health & trauma care, and the integration of trauma care as a matter of policy, ATCA recognizes the critical importance of addressing trauma in African contexts.
The 3rd installment of the Africa conference aims to bring together mental health professionals, policymakers, educators, and stakeholders from various sectors to discuss and strategize on integrating trauma care across different systems in Africa.
The theme for ATCC 2024 is "Bridging Gaps: Integrating Trauma Care into African Systems."
This theme underscores the imperative to incorporate trauma-focused approaches across healthcare, education, social work, and corporate systems. We aim to highlight the challenges and opportunities in diverse African contexts, particularly in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria.
The integration of trauma care into various systems is crucial for several reasons:
The conference will address the following key areas:
