Pain and hardship affect all of us—individually and as communities. Whether through personal struggles, family challenges, or the weight of broader societal divisions, harm can linger in ways that shape our relationships and daily lives. But healing is possible. When we recognize how harm and stress impact us and those around us, we can respond in ways that foster connection, resilience, and repair.

This six-week interactive course is designed for everyday people—teachers, pastors, social workers, students, parents, activists, and neighbors—who want to navigate difficult experiences with greater awareness and care. Whether you’re supporting others or reflecting on your own journey, this course will equip you with practical tools to recognize harm, foster healing, build stronger relationships, and contribute to wider peacebuilding efforts.

Led by experienced facilitator(s) who work in the field of trauma-sensitive peacebuilding, this course goes beyond theory. Through hands-on activities, case studies, guided reflections, and real-world applications, you will:

• Recognize different types of trauma and their impact on individuals, communities, and societies
• Understand how unaddressed trauma can perpetuate cycles of harm and division
• Explore grief, lament, and storytelling as pathways to healing and recovery
• Develop practical skills for fostering resilience, empathy, and reconciliation
• Apply trauma-aware practices to everyday relationships and peacebuilding efforts

Join us as we learn how to navigate trauma with wisdom, compassion, and practical action.
