Trauma Awareness and Resilience Seminar Coming Up April 16-20
Eastern Mennonite University is hosting the April Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience Trauma (STAR) Seminar from April 16—20. The seminar teaches individual and community trauma recovery through the lens of peace-building and restorative justice. Since its inception in 2002, the Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) program has trained over 3000 national and international leaders and lay persons in caring for themselves and their community post war, trauma, and natural disaster. Participants focus on trauma responses in individuals and groups, how to break individual and societal cycles of trauma, victimhood, and violence, and take time to evaluate and practice self-care. STAR is a program of the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. Ror registration and more information visit www.emu.edu/star or contact STAR personnel at star@emu.edu or (540) 432-4691.
