Healing for Traumatised Communities
In this special seminar, we welcome Dr. Eugen Koh to discuss how collective trauma experienced by entire communities can affect their functioning. Communities affected by trauma may fragment and cease to function as groups of mutual support and human connection. Together, we will explore what forms of support can help such communities heal from shared trauma and regain their capacity to function as cohesive social units.
We invite your participation in this important conversation.
Simultaneous interpretation (Japanese–English) will be provided.
