Big Picture Monday
Trauma is not always an isolated event that happens to a single person. Through systemic injustice, such as generational discrimination, displacement, and institutional bias, trauma can echo across generations.

When we evaluate someone's mental health, we cannot separate their symptoms from their ancestry or their current treatment by society. Healing requires treating the roots, not just the leaves.

By acknowledging generational trauma, we shift our focus from "What is wrong with you?" to "What happened to you, and your community, over generations?"
