How can we effectively address the threat of terrorism? What helps being about long-term security? What stops cycles of victimhood? What role can Restorative Justice play? This fully updated edition offers insightful answers.
Following the staggering events of September 11, 2001, the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University was asked to help, along with Church World Service, to equip religious and civil leaders for dealing with traumatized communities. The staff and faculty proposed Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) programs.

Topics covered include:
Trauma as a call to change and transformation
Societal or collective trauma
Trauma affects us physiologically
Ongoing trauma
Limitations of defining unhealed trauma through a PTSD frame
Incomplete grieving
Acknowledgment
Reconnection
Prevent trauma by learning to wage peach
And much more.
A startlingly helpful approach. A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.
