Thank you to the NYS Office for Mental Health’s “Join the Journey” Conference, organized by the Trauma-Informed Network & Resource Center, for the great work they do to support trauma healing among New Yorkers and the people and communities that need it most.
I was honored to serve as panelist in this year’s gathering.
Seeing over 500 people gathering from different communities across the State to connect around this topic felt so powerful and joyful. There are many people who are willing and ready to overcome their past and be in their full capacity towards their future, and we should be a society that supports that.
The key message I hope could get across is how we all have the capacity to heal from trauma and come out stronger at the other end. The brain and body have an amazing innate ability and also a natural longing to heal and evolve. We just have to tap into it 💪🏽💫
