If you’ve survived a toxic, abusive relationship, you already know a difficult truth: the hardest part of healing often happens after you leave the therapist’s office. For too long, the mental health world has treated recovery as a finish line. But at the STAR Network, we know that true recovery doesn’t end when treatment does – it’s a lifelong journey of reclaiming your life, your worth and your future.

On Friday, May 22, 2026, join us for a FREE global, virtual event dedicated entirely to our STARs — Survivors of Toxic Abusive Relationships. STARs is a global movement dedicated to healing trauma and celebrating the strength of the human spirit. Whether you are navigating the aftermath of narcissistic abuse and attachment disorders, supporting a loved one, or working as a mental health professional, this is your safe space to find community and long-term support.

You will discover the inspiration, trauma-informed resources, and connections needed to reclaim your narrative. We are bringing together a powerhouse line-up of inspiring leaders and influencers to equip you with the tools and hope you need for the road ahead.

Traumatic experiences leave their imprint on the body as well as the mind. Dr Bessel van der Kolk offers a new paradigm for healing. The helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma need not be inevitable.

Drawn from more than thirty years at the forefront of research and clinical practice, Dr Bessel van der Kolk’s global bestseller The Body Keeps The Score showed us that the terror and isolation at the core of trauma literally reshape both brain and body – and demonstrated a new approach to recovery, moving away from standard talking and drug therapies to heal mind, brain and body. Fusing insights from the cutting-edge of neuroscience with the weight of decades of experience as an active therapist, Dr van der Kolk will reveal the power of our relationships – whether in the intimacy of the home or in our wider communities – to both hurt and heal.

Join us to discover how both adults and children can reclaim ownership of their bodies and their lives.
