It tracks the development of community programs and projects based on a family and community resilience approach, including those that enhance the collective capacities for narration and public conversation.Clinicians and community practitioners will come away from Collective Trauma, Collective Healing with a solid understanding of new roles they may play in disasters-roles that encourage them to recognize and enhance the resilience and coping skills in families, organizations, and the community at large.
