Common Threads Project

This April, we are thinking about Tally Tripp’s legacy of trauma-survivor renewal through the work we do at CTP.

Tally’s birthday falls in this season of renewal—fitting for someone who devoted her life to supporting healing. Through her work with CTP, and alongside partners in Africa, she helped create space for survivors of gender-based violence to express the unspeakable, and to rebuild their mental health—and their communities.

She believed healing wasn’t immediate. It was something nurtured, developing over time, much like spring’s floral bounty signals the end of winter.

To learn more about the trauma recovery work she championed, visit the link in our bio.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! May this day of renewal be filled with hope, peace, and love.

Sajha Dhago—“common threads”—has grown from a Common Threads Project initiative into an independent Nepali organization advancing trauma recovery at scale.

In 2025 alone, the team trained clinicians independently, mentored peers in Seattle, and expanded healing circles to women facing menstrual isolation. Today, they reach 380+ survivors annually, with a 95% measurable improvement in emotional well-being.

Join us in celebrating their work in trauma recovery with local leadership, expanding capacity, and healing that endures.

Throughout history, women have turned to textiles to tell their stories. Each story sewn bears witness to a deeply personal history, passed on for future generations to hold.

At Common Threads Project, we integrate a time-old tradition within a group therapy program for survivors of gender-based violence, conflict, and displacement. Join us in honoring women historymakers and share this post!
