About Us
Sercle Inc. is a global community and impact-driven startup, on a mission to empower trauma survivors with holistic healing through cutting-edge peer support, personalized digital services, data-driven insights, and survivor-centric education.
We started Sercle Inc with a simple idea: trauma survivors know what it’s like to live with the effects of their experiences, and they can teach us more than we can teach them. We also knew that if they had the tools to track their own progress and compare themselves to others who have gone through the same things, they could learn more about how to improve their outcomes. Our goal is to make as much data as possible openly accessible to researchers, caregivers, school administrators, journalists, policy-makers, local and international institutions, etc. so that we can work together to prevent, as well as, support those who have been negatively impacted by these events.
Exposure to trauma is pervasive in societies worldwide and is associated with substantial costs to the individual and society, making it a significant global public health concern. Trauma and mental health conditions can be treated effectively at low cost, but health systems are under-resourced worldwide. Stigma and discrimination are common for individuals with these conditions. Our primary focus is serving trauma survivors, including those affected by interpersonal violence, accidents, intimate partner or sexual violence, bereavement, and more. We offer a safe and supportive space for their healing journeys.
As a social enterprise that is committed to putting impact on the people and the planet above profit, we reinvest the majority of our profits to achieve sustainability, grow our impact, and ensure the fulfillment of our mission.
