Today is Blue Knot Day, a national day of action and awareness for adult survivors of complex trauma and the people who support them.

Complex trauma describes repeated or ongoing experiences of abuse, violence or neglect, and the effects these experiences can have. The experiences can occur at any age, or across different ages.

This Blue Knot Day, the focus is on the journey of untangling complex trauma, strand by strand, for creating pathways for growth. Working together, we can make a real difference and build a hopeful future for survivors.
