Trauma‑Aware Funding & Grants Collaborator – TEG‑Blue™ (Remote)
The Emotional Gradient Blueprint (TEG‑Blue™) is a pioneering initiative dedicated to transforming how we understand, express, and navigate emotions. Our mission is to promote emotional literacy through innovative tools, visual frameworks, and community‑based programs that empower individuals to map and communicate their emotional states with clarity and compassion.

We serve educators, mental health professionals, parents, changemakers, and others who believe in the power of emotional awareness to foster healthier relationships, resilient communities, and inclusive learning environments. Our work bridges psychology, design, and education to create accessible resources that support emotional development across all ages.

At the heart of TEG‑Blue™ is a belief in co‑creation, empathy, and radical transparency. We value collaboration, curiosity, and the courage to feel deeply. Whether through workshops, digital content, or grassroots partnerships, we aim to make emotional intelligence a shared language for personal and collective growth.

TEG‑Blue™ is a growing open research ecosystem based in Spain with collaborators across several countries. It offers a visual, trauma‑informed framework to understand emotional safety, harm, and repair across people, relationships, organizations, and AI systems.

We are building tools that help:

differentiate trauma responses from manipulation

make emotional safety visible in systems
