Healing-centered peacebuilding: Collectively nurturing strength from within

Our Approach

At the core of our approach to community healing, we embrace a strength-based perspective, acknowledging that communities possess the resources and resilience needed to surmount the obstacles posed by violence, injustice, and dignity.

Through healing, communities can begin to spearhead their own recovery by identifying and leveraging their strengths to rebuild and restore their social fabric.
