When people experience war and violence, it leaves behind not only physical wounds, but above all impairments to the mental health<\/strong>. Trauma is associated with the experience of loneliness, powerlessness and helplessness. Trust in oneself, in others and in the world is shaken. <\/p>\nThis affects not only individuals, but also social relationships and community life.<\/p>\n
Unprocessed trauma can thus once again contribute to the emergence and escalation of conflict and violence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Trauma and Peacebuilding<\/h2>\n
To counteract these experiences, people need places of safety, the connection with a community, and the experience of being able to make a difference. This creates hope that things can get better. <\/p>\n
Healing trauma<\/strong>: People find their way back to a life that they can actively shape in connection with others.<\/p>\nBuilding peace and living reconciliation<\/strong>: Only when people have overcome and come to terms with their experiences of violence are they free to live together peacefully again. Trauma care is therefore always also peace building.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/wings-of-hope.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Vision-und-Mission-Stiftung-Wings-of-Hope-3.jpg\" "\\"Vision")
