Wednesday, Oct. 18
Panel: Community Approaches to Healing Trauma
VENUE: UBC Robson Square
TIME:  3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Light refreshments offered.

Community can also provide long-term support and healing for refugees who have experienced trauma. Accordingly, this panel brings together a wide variety of perspectives and practitioners, and will engage the audience in learning about how different community organizations develop trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive activities and connections to complement the trauma-focused work they may be doing with therapists and in groups.

This session is open to students, faculty, people who arrived as refugees, claimants and immigrants, settlement sector providers, and anyone interested in community approaches to healing trauma faced by refugees and refugee claimants.
