Synopsis

A topical exploration of how communities can help heal trauma in individuals and groups

There are many books dedicated to trauma. What sets 'Finding Strength in Numbers' apart from these books is that it is one of the very few, or even the first, focussing on trauma and its relationship to community as the place where we heal. Trauma is a common human experience. Almost all of us will have experienced some trauma. For some of us, this trauma will leave us incapacitated and exhibiting behaviours challenging to us and those around us. While there is much written on psychological interventions for the scar of trauma, 'Finding strength in Numbers' takes a much different approach. It delves into the importance of community in our healing journey. It is in the small and often unexpected interactions with others that our trauma is healed. Written for the layman, 'Finding Strength in Numbers' is written for the community member who wants to live in connection with their neighbours and create a better place where they live.
