What if there’s always a way forward—even when it doesn’t feel like it? “You just need to allow yourself to explore who you are and create your own intentions...” Glenda’s words cut through the noise with raw honesty about healing, getting help, and moving from “me” to real connection. The vulnerable shift to thinking about others’ needs brings the insight home. Loop this one—the emotional beat at the end quietly rebuilds your hope every time. #SelfDiscovery #CommunityHealing #MentalWellness

Let us help. We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom and community. We wish we didn't need to.

To start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords, and our free discussion guide.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all. Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students voice things they need to talk about.

The news metabolizes in the body like food — some feeds, some poisons, some sits until you give it time and breath.
Box breathe the hard stories. Four counts in, hold four, out four, hold four. Three cycles. Your jaw locked somewhere in the Burning; the breath will find it.
Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) binds GABA-A receptors via chrysin — drops cortisol without sedative rebound. Tea: one teaspoon aerial parts, eight ounces boiling water, ten minutes.
Name the specific fear. Not "everything is collapsing" — what, specifically, today? Give it a postal code. Vague dread is fog; a specific fear is something you can sit beside and negotiate with.
Text one person what you genuinely noticed about them. Connection is the immune system of a community under pressure.
Each day, a little at a time.
Then Read this and chuckle.

FCJ Refugee Centre May 11

For this past Mother’s Day, FCJ Refugee Centre hosted a Creative Wellness Workshop to create a safe, welcoming and healing space for migrant women. Participants called the experience relaxing and therapeutic. We focused on connection, and self-care while building meaningful friendships in our community.

Special thanks to Carolina Gajardo for her time, kindness and support throughout the event.

Lorrainne's reflection on pre-gun violence reveals our shared need for healing and connection to foster resilience. In fediverse conversations, this promotes trauma-informed paths to collective strength. #BeyondLegislationHealing #InnerResilience #CommunityHealing

What does community unity, solidarity, and resilience look like? The 𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 Learning Guide explores how storytelling serve as a tool for healing communities, families, and individuals affected by trauma. 🤝

Section 5 Echoes and Restorations – Healing Trauma Across Generations explores the concept of intergenerational trauma and highlights how storytelling can become a pathway to restoration. Students reflect on how communities can build unity to find healing through truth-telling, solidarity, and shared memory. 💞

We warmly recommend this lesson for supporting communities and healing trauma through storytelling. We hope you will share it widely.

1. I'm becoming more aware of the stories my mind likes to make up. Not reacting with anger.

2. I’m grateful that I’m not giving up on connection, even though it’s still hard for me to connect with people who think differently than I do.

3. Through this practice I am focused on growth, progress, healing, vulnerability, values, and love. Letting go of ego and performance.
