He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.

A complex systems map titled 'Wellbeing and Resilience: A grounded theory using a trauma-informed lens for a healing-centered peacebuilding approach.' The map branches into three main approaches, represented by different colored icons: A blue 'Psychosocial Programming Approach,' a red 'Ignore It Approach,' and a green 'A Healing-Centered Peacebuilding Approach.' The map also includes a purple 'Mental Health Approach.' Each branch contains numerous illustrated elements showing various aspects like community engagement, mental health support, and conflict resolution. The left side shows challenges and interventions, while the right side shows healing and positive outcomes. Multiple small illustrations depict people in various situations, from community meetings to healing activities. The map includes both problematic approaches to avoid and constructive solutions to implement. A credit line indicates this is from research by A. Yoder-Maina, 2020, at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
#HealingCentered #peacebuilding is strength-based. It recognises systems and structures supporting recovery and rebuilding are often greatly damaged by the same violence and #trauma.
Key to the approach is interventions are not just about raising awareness but behavior change.
