And when our organizations are not responding to our participants, clients, staff, and volunteers in a trauma-informed and trauma-responsive manner.
It is a call to action and we must begin to change the organizational culture and our organizational values.

There is no cookie-cutter approach to dealing with #trauma.
βTrauma-informed practice is not a #checklist, it is instead the #culture and #values that guide us.β

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.

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.

7/ According to my experience and research there are three mainstream responses: the mental health approach, the psychosocial approach, and the βignore itβ 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 βconstitute[s as] one of the major contributors to violence reproduction" (Adams 2017).

5/ everyone affected into the βgrey zoneβ moving away from the dualistic βgood-or-badβ views β of βperpetrators vs. victimsβ and βcriminals vs. innocent citizens.β
#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.

2. The helpers (i.e. the police) must understand the stories of the oppressed.
How do we make their stories accessible? #MuamkoMpya
