Malibu, CA July 31, 2026 –(PR.com)– The Pointe Malibu Recovery Center, a behavioral health and addiction treatment facility, has announced its participation in the upcoming Transform Trauma Oxford 2026 conference, held this September 14–17 in Oxford, UK.
The symposium is recognized as the world’s largest trauma, mental health, and wellbeing conference, hosting over 6,000 global attendees and more than 100 expert speakers. This year’s theme, Science, Spirit and the Body: The Synthesis of Healing, focuses heavily on the neurophysiological mechanics of recovery. The international lineup features notable industry pioneers including Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, and Tara Swart.
Representing The Pointe Malibu, Dr. Christopher Cutter, Ph.D., Senior Consultant for Research and Assessment and an Associate Professor with the Yale Child Study Center, has been named a featured presenter among the conference’s core faculty. Alongside Dr. Cutter, The Pointe Malibu’s Executive Director, Jennell Maze, LCSW, will attend the four-day event to engage with international practitioners, participate in interdisciplinary panels, and coordinate with international referents. Additionally, Ashleigh Abramovici will lead a morning session titled “Grounding the Nervous System: A Polyvagal-Informed Yoga and Breath Practice,” guiding participants through mindful movement and nervous system regulation to help them settle and prepare for the day’s events.
Research on Trauma, Substance Misuse, and Chronic Pain
Dr. Cutter’s presentation, titled “When History Hurts: Cultural and Community Advances in Historical Trauma Recovery, Mental Health, Substance Misuse, and Chronic Pain Among Indigenous Peoples,” examines the intersections of systemic trauma and behavioral health outcomes. The presentation details how addressing the historical lineage of trauma through culturally adapted, strength-based interventions directly correlates with improved patient engagement, clinical trust, and long-term recovery metrics.
This research aligns with the operational model utilized at The Pointe Malibu, which treats co-occurring substance use, trauma, and chronic pain through a polyvagal-based framework.
“Our clinical model recognizes that healing begins at both a cellular and relational level, where safety and connection create the conditions for change,” states Jennell Maze, LCSW. “By utilizing polyvagal-based techniques, the focus is placed on nervous system recovery and somatic co-regulation as the baseline for traditional therapeutic work.”
Clinical Application and Methodology
The Pointe Malibu integrates neurophysiological recovery strategies, structured scheduling, and collaborative multi-therapist care to address complex trauma and dependency. The center’s presentation at the Oxford summit highlights an ongoing industry shift toward integrating somatic and autonomic nervous system regulation into residential behavioral health settings.
The Pointe Malibu clinical leadership team will be available throughout the September conference to meet with referents, medical professionals, and researchers to discuss specialized treatment protocols and interdisciplinary care structures.
Conference Registration and Information
Transform Trauma Oxford 2026 will take place this September in Oxford, England. Attendance is limited to credentialed professionals in the fields of mental health, addiction medicine, and chronic pain management.
