    Trauma to Triumph Through Solo Travel

    Travel Through Trauma equips 24 low-income Angelenos aged 18-29 with the skills, confidence, and real-world practice to turn trauma into opportunity. Over 17 weeks they receive weekly trauma-informed therapy, financial and wellness coaching, language and self-defense training, then design and undertake a fully funded 14-day solo service journey abroad. Weekly assessments and 12-month follow-ups already show 40 % cuts in anxiety and 25 % income gains. LA2050 funding covers travel stipends, coaching hours, and continuous evaluation.
