Healing Centered Cleveland
While the Institute will be offered virtually worldwide, the Center on Trauma and Adversity is committed to engaging our local community in deeper learning and moving towards a Healing Centered Cleveland.
Our final keynote speaker, Dr. Ginwright is the founder of Healing Center Engagement (HCE), which is a non-clinical, strengths-based approach that advances a holistic view of healing from trauma and re-centers culture and identity as a central feature in personal well-being. A healing centered approach is holistic involving culture, spirituality, civic action and collective healing. This approach views trauma not simply as an individual isolated experience, but rather highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively. The term healing-centered engagement expands how we think about responses to trauma beyond trauma-informed care and offers a more holistic approach to fostering well-being.
While interest in trauma-informed care continues to grow, there are many questions around how an organization or system may embody a model that is defined differently by different groups and in most definitions is limited by a lack of integration of the role of collective trauma, race-based and identity-based traumatic stress, and system driven adversity in many of the challenges facing our city.
