Final Thoughts

As facilitators of healing, we seek to reduce harm and develop supportive environments for everyone to thrive. This starts by developing sensible plans that address the individual, organizational, community, and overall systems issues that may be barriers as well as identify and allocate strengths and resources in a collaborative way. 

Remember, many people who have lived adverse experiences are able to overcome them and continue through their lives. By embracing a trauma-informed approach, we aim to provide spaces to reduce harm, protect, support, and help people thrive. This video below shows us how we can shift from treaters to healers with a trauma-informed approach.
