Raise awareness of what it means to be a trauma-informed community #trauma #community

Behind every number is a story. Behind every stati Behind every number is a story. Behind every statistic is a neighbor, coworker, child, sibling, parent, and person who mattered. 

This Overdose Awareness Month, we sat down with Mary Drew and Randy Herk of Reality Check to talk honestly about addiction, stigma, and how we can show up for one another as a community.

Belonging isn't a nice-to-have. It's a protective Belonging isn't a nice-to-have. It's a protective factor for mental health. It’s medicine. Belonging is deeply woven into whether people feel safe enough to reach out, ask for help, and stay connected.

This National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we sat down with Gina Burke of the @monadnock_deib  to talk about who gets access to care, who doesn't, and why feeling welcomed matters more than we realize.

Refugees and asylum seekers have vast stores of re Refugees and asylum seekers have vast stores of resiliency within themselves that they are already tapping into during their displacement journeys. They are not looking to be “saved” by their new neighbors, employers, and social workers, but to be seen, understood, and assisted in their assimilation into the communities in which they’ve resettled.

However, the feelings that come with the loss of control over one’s life can be overwhelming and require early intervention. Refugees do not decide which country is chosen for their resettlement, and integrating into a new culture without the proper resources or support can exacerbate mental health stressors. Additionally, the pre-existing layers of trauma can create roadblocks to successful integration. 

Some of the stressors during post-migration and resettlement may the following:

Poverty and insecure housing
Lack of adequate transportation
Limitations on work and education
Culture shock and language barriers
Insecure immigration status and legal issues

Since the mid-1980s, over 75,000 refugees arriving Since the mid-1980s, over 75,000 refugees arriving from all over the world–particularly South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia–have come to call the Granite State their home. You may be surprised to learn that there are many refugee families who have been resettled among the communities of the Monadnock Region.

Just as every survivor of displacement is a unique individual like you and I, so too are their stories and journeys in life, including their refugee experience and resettlement process. They are not looking to be “saved” by their new neighbors, employers, and social workers, but to be seen, understood, and assisted in their assimilation into the communities in which they’ve resettled. Some examples of community and family supports would be helping them to trace missing family members, assisted mourning ceremonies, non-formal education, parenting programs, women’s groups, youth clubs, and access to transportation and interpreters. And, of course, new friendships are (usually) welcomed, too!
