Collective Being

Founded in 2017, Collective Being is a mental health organisation offering trauma-informed, body-based programs that support people experiencing stress, trauma, and systemic barriers to care. We run free and low-cost group programs in everyday settings, like hospitals, schools, prisons, and community spaces, that combine movement, mindfulness and nervous system awareness. Our programs are therapeutic, educational, and focused on real-life tools people can use to recover, reconnect, and stay well. We work with people often excluded from the mental health system, including trauma survivors, young people, people in carceral or involuntary settings, and communities facing social, economic or cultural barriers. Our support sits alongside clinical care, strengthens community wellbeing, and helps prevent crises before they escalate.
