Community decision-making and peacebuilding
efforts around the globe have been and continue to be affected by trauma thus
necessitating a trauma-informed approach to conflict resolution, breaking
recurrent cycles of violence, and fostering the trust and collaboration required
for sustainable project outcomes and stable societies. Trauma may result from
people’s actions or natural disasters, causing neurological changes that
spontaneously overwhelm rational thoughts as much as decades later. The impact
of traumatic experiences may also be passed to future generations who were not
directly exposed. Such collective trauma can affect large swaths of society; it
manifests differently, can harden into a divided, volatile state, and requires a
complex response. To do no harm, peacebuilders have an ethical responsibility to
be alert to the possibility of trauma exposure and adapt interventions to
address its effects.This CLE is approved for credit through July 7,
