LakeCloud brings together three pillars to improve human life for everyone.
Based on more than 200 years of expertise in trauma, brain science, mental health, wellness, and resilience.
A crisis of trauma, loneliness, stress and anxiety
LakeCloud has long recognized that these aren't separate problems. They're deeply connected — and they affect nearly everyone.
Trauma and Adversity
Trauma impacts everyone — those who've experienced it and those who care for them. The economic impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences alone is $14.1 Trillion in the US alone.
Loneliness
The U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a "public health epidemic" in 2023. It has been rising steadily since the 1970s.
Stress and Anxiety
Trauma and loneliness fuel a growing mental health crisis. Stress and anxiety don't exist in isolation — they're connected to unprocessed trauma, social disconnection, and environments that don't support human wellbeing.
These numbers aren't abstract. They're your neighbors, your coworkers, your children, and maybe you.

Real change, in real lives.
What learners, educators, and clinicians say about Lakeside's trauma-informed training and the impact it has on the people around them.
We now handle the challenging situations much better because we have the basic tools and strategies for it. We approach students with challenging behavior differently than before… As a result of the trauma-informed approach, we have already seen changes in the relationships between employees at our school and the students.
This training directly impacts and informs the Trauma-Informed Care trainings we provide at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The process is very friendly, safe, and encourages communication in a judgement-free environment while also allowing those that do not feel comfortable participating.
As an administrator, being more aware and in-tune to behaviors and outward/inward signs of folks who have experienced trauma will help me better support my staff and clinicians.
Partnered with the leaders in trauma-informed mental health, VR & healthcare.
LakeCloud partners with the best organizations focused on trauma-informed mental health practice and the leaders defining the future of VR and healthcare.
