Community Healing Circle - To Be Heard, Healed and Find Hope Community healing is so important if we are to thrive as individuals and as a community. All our work must have a trauma healing component consisting of redemptive, restorative and reparation process integrated otherwise we will carry the trauma of our pain from our past into the world, into the next generation and into the future. This is necessary to reduce violence and promote healing .

Violence often leads to trauma and in turn , unhealed trauma can lead to further division, violence and loss of security in personal lives and the community.

Unaddressed trauma is always finding an opportunity to rise in us inflicting more harm.
