“The Way Home”­ Healing from Historical Trauma

The impacts of trauma on an individual are well documented and include; Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, poor attachment and bonding, and numerous other physical
and emotional problems. When large groups of people collectively experience traumatic events such as genocide, oppression, or prolonged war, the impacts can devastate a
community or an entire culture for generations. Over representation in the homeless population and in correctional institutions, widespread problems with addiction and child
abuse, a chronic cycle of poverty and dependence, and a disconnection and alienation from extended family, culture and society are the legacy of historical trauma.
