Understanding Trauma: Creating Space for Healing

Understanding Trauma: Creating Space for Healing is a unique self-paced course that serves as a container for reflection, growth, and development. Across 4 modules, Understanding Trauma takes you on a journey through self-reflection, foundational trauma definitions, understanding trauma contextually, and recognizing the growth potential innate to all of us in the aftermath of trauma. The healing inherent to Understanding Trauma centers on self and community. We cannot heal in isolation, and our traumas are not created in a vacuum. By holding space to deeply explore concepts such as Adverse Childhood Experiences, Adverse Community Environments, Resilience, Social Capital, and Structural Racism, this course allows us to take a bird’s eye view of the complexities of enduring traumatic experiences and environments acutely and generationally. Our hope and power lie in our self-work that we can then bring to the community liberation effort!
