The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn whether NEST, a new trauma-informed group therapy program, is feasible and acceptable for parents with Complex PTSD, a condition that can develop after prolonged or repeated traumatic experiences. Parenting can be especially challenging for people with this condition, and few treatment programs currently address this specific need. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the NEST group intervention feasible to deliver and acceptable to parents with Complex PTSD? * Do parents' trauma-related symptoms and their experience of the parenting role change from before to after the intervention? Participants will: * Complete online questionnaires about trauma-related symptoms and parenting before the group therapy, after it ends, and again three months later * Take part in nine weekly 90-minute group therapy sessions, co-led by a member of the study team and a mental health professional from the treatment site * Some participants will additionally be invited to a short interview about their experience with the group therapy
