“A healing centred approach is holistic involving culture, spirituality, civic action and collective healing. A healing-centered approach views trauma not simply as an individual isolated experience, but rather highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively.” (Shawn Ginwright) When we say “healing and growth-centered,” we mean that we are focused on healing and personal growth for participants, with an understanding of the context of cultural trauma.
