CYCLES OF TRAUMA AND THE JOURNEY TO WELLBEING: A Framework For TraumaInformed Practices & Positive Social Change
The Wellbeing Project and Georgetown University
Trauma is everywhere—in our homes, communities, institutions, and systems. In social change work, we also see trauma at the roots of the biggest challenges facing the world today—and in the lives of the people working to address them.
Trauma-informed approaches to social change have the power to help unlock healing, wellbeing, and social transformation for all. Here, we invite you to explore this power, contributing to our global call to move from cycles of trauma to journeys of wellbeing.
