#Healingcentered #peacebuilding deepens and expands practices related to trauma healing, justice, governance, and human security at the grassroots while linking practice to both policy and research.

Excited to present my research poster at the 2021 Inaugural (virtual) Peace and Conflict Studies Journal Conference, hosted by @NSUFlorida's Peace and Conflict Studies Journal later this evening.

We must fully invest in social & emotional learning in trauma-informed schools. And we must dare I say, move toward a healing-centered educational approach to address the looming mental health crisis our Kenya 🇰🇪 students, educators, and families face.

We're not complete until we realize we are wounded.

How do we begin to embody individual and social healing in a broken system and a wounded world?

Healing is finding and adding healthier ways to cope ...

#WeHealAsOne #HealingCentredKE

This quote always

“I see our system really judging kids on their outward appearances, on how they react and behave vs trying to find out what the cause is — it’s the pain, that these kids carry within themselves.” @SporLin in @PaperTigersDoc

#ResilienceReset #HealingCentredKE

The ordinary #Kenyan citizen wants his/her family to be healthy and safe, we have agency if we can find way to proactively own it, and we can make wise choices if given the right tools to do so. Let's find the right tools and let's begin to believe in ourselves!

When changing perspective can mean saving your life.

#Strengthbased #OwningYourHealingAgenda #HealingCentredKE

Fear only raises cortisol which pulls down our immune systems. Let’s speak words of life and health over our bodies and over our families. Let’s cover our elderly family members and friends and our brave health care givers with positive words and love.

What is #HealingCentredKE #peacebuilding?

It is a practice-based approach that includes inclusion; customization and contextualization; breaks the #CyclesofViolence; systems thinking; and incorporates #traumainformed tools.

A #HealingCentredKE peacebuilding approach stimulates each other’s creativity and supports a collective healing process.

#Gratitude and #excitement in developing ground theory from practice for my #dissertation and having the opportunity to interact with seasoned practitioners.

Only hurting people hurt others.

Trauma which is not transformed is transferred.

Trauma is transgenerational, collective and transcultural. But it can be healed. We celebrate those doing this hard work by confronting the past, engaging with pain, and building community.

“Trauma-informed systems support reflections in place of reaction, curiosity in lieu of numbing, self-care instead of self-sacrifice, & collective impact rather than siloed structures” (Epstein,K et al., 2014- SF DPH TIS)

#traumainformedKE for a #HealingCentredKE

Trauma is not a mental illness, but if the impact of trauma is left unaddressed it can become mental illness. Doing nothing is not an option.

#traumainformedKE for a #HealingCentredKE

"Truth-telling and acknowledgement is the first essential step toward transforming psychological trauma into nonviolent power. We can speak the truth." Donna Mitner @MNPeacebuilding

#traumainformedKE for a #HealingCentredKE

A symptom of trauma is feeling you must do things alone.

"We are catalyzing a movement, making visible a field of possibility and transformation so that we can all support each other in moving cultures from being trauma-inducing to being trauma-informed to being trauma-healing." - Robin Alfred #traumainformedKe to #HealingCentredKE
