Erica Woodland: "To Heal Traumatized Communities, Fight Oppression"

Donielle Prince 10/3/171:54 PM

Erica Woodland, in Truthout, on a necessary conversation:

"We will never see an end to trauma until we recognize that oppression not only increases our risk of experiencing it, but also interferes with our ability to recover from experiences that are compounded by that oppression.

While investing in culturally relevant and trauma-informed care is an important step to eradicate the prevalence of trauma in our society, it will only apply a Band-Aid to a wound much deeper -- the ways systems of oppression are engrained in our institutions and in the very ways we communicate and relate."
