Presentation Description
Collective loss models are seldom identified in Western literature, as Euro-American constructs of trauma interventions are based more on individualized diagnoses of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, with little attention being paid to cultural beliefs and the collective themes that emerge when loss affects whole communities. Once war, trauma and actual death have invaded the family and cultural boundaries of trust, relationships found within a supportive community are critical in re-establishing a sense of safety and efficacy (Baskin et. al., 2010; Farwell & Cole, 2002; Hobfoll et. al, 2007; Pyszcynski, et al., 2003; St. Thomas & Johnson, 2007; Summerfield, 2000; Yohani, 2008). When children, who have experienced such collective loss, rediscover themselves in a safe and supportive community, and become contributing members in that community, hope and resilience flourish.
Objectives
1. Participants will have a greater understanding of collective and healing
2. Participants will learn the effects of persecution and resettlement on children & families
3. Participants will gain knowledge on key program essentials in an intercultural community-based setting.
