Prioritizing well-being is a priority right now. By tending to ourselves, we give our brains reprieve so we can be more present in meetings, relationships, and decision-making. This also allows us to be more equipped to show up for the hard and messy work that is advancing social justice. In the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of disciplines and organizations interested in applying a “trauma-informed” lens.

While being trauma-informed is important, it is only a starting point. In this webinar social work scholar Ozy Aloziem, MSW discussed why we must move past simply being trauma-informed toward actively promoting holistic and collective healing.
