At #IVAT2020 opening remarks “The focus remains on personal resilience - but personal resilience is a limited solution to the challenges we face today. We are tired of being told to be resilient about the things that never should have happened.” @Lynnspeaksout
"We have to normalize talking about violence and trauma and how it impacts us. The more we can talk about concrete ways we can become trauma-informed we will be moving the movement forward." Tamara Hamai
"Prevention and multidisciplinary teams are key." Joyce N Thomas #IVAT2020
Listening to how #ACEs can be taken forward internationally and that working to contextualize the science of #ACEs is the way forward globally...

END/ Investment in #healing is critical in today's world
@CBWeThrive said, “we’re a society organized based on trauma, so we need to go from being trauma-organized to being trauma-informed—and then, eventually, healing-centered."
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
13/ A healing-centered peacebuilding approach considers emotional and mental distress to be a critical variable in violent conflict and instability.
Trauma is not only a consequence of violence but also a cause of instability.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
12/ Key elements of the practice-based approach from the research included Inclusion, Customization and Contextualization, Breaking Cycles of Violence, Systems Thinking, and the use of Trauma-Informed Tools.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
11/ Key to the approach is interventions are not just about raising awareness but behavior change.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
10/ A healing-centered peacebuilding approach refers to ways in which leaders, programs & organizations mitigate the impact of chronic violence, bringing trauma awareness, knowledge, & skills into their organizational cultures, practices, and policies.
#IVAT2020
9/ The study used #GroundedTheory within an action research framework to develop a new approach. The approach gives a name to an approach not uncommon among peacebuilders dealing with the impacts of violence and trauma.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
8/ #HealingCentered #peacebuilding is strength-based. It recognizes systems and structures supporting recovery and rebuilding are often greatly damaged by the same violence and trauma.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
7/ According to my experience and research there are three mainstream responses: the mental health approach, the psychosocial approach, and the “ignore it” approach.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
6/ Both visible and invisible symptoms of trauma are often viewed as direct consequences of violence but in chronic violence, trauma itself “constitute[s as] one of the major contributors to violence reproduction" (Adams 2017).
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
5/ everyone affected into the “grey zone” moving away from the dualistic “good-or-bad” views – of “perpetrators vs. victims” and “criminals vs. innocent citizens.”
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
4/ Chronic violence impacts people living in countries with long-term state fragility and little ability to change the fundamental basic conditions of the instability. Chronic violence is complex, long-term violence driving
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
3/ Symptoms associated with trauma in individuals influence all levels of society and aspects of governance and security when large segments of a population are affected.
#IVAT2020 #PosterPresentation #TraumaIntoTriumph
2/ The exposure to violence has long-lasting effects that are not well accounted for in when it comes to rebuilding fractured & hurting societies.

1/ Globally entire generations & nations live in chronic violence & exist in survival mode for decades.

“The focus remains on personal resilience - but personal resilience is a limited solution to the challenges we face today.” - Lynn Rosenthal
We are tired of being told to be resilient about the things that never should have happened.
#IVAT2020 Opening Plenary
"From Rage to Reconciliation" Oliver Williams
Healing must include issues of social justice even historical trauma like the lynching & the murder of Emmet Till (1955) & the current killing by police of George Floyd (2020).

The opening of the virtual #IVAT2020
With the emergence of professionals, professionalism has led to a disconnect with the communities they serve…. Moving back to the grassroots we are reminded of the power of the victim's voice.” Jacquelyn White
