Friends, I cannot get this sculpture out of my mind. She is called Ona, and she's part of the OF THE EARTH exhibition by olgaziemskastudio at arboretummorton. If you have the opportunity to visit the arboretum and can see these works of art I highly recommend it! I could have soaked Ona in for days and never moved. As I wrote about hope in BUILDING TRAUMA-SENSITIVE SCHOOLS, "She's seen things–hard things." That's how I understand her. Ona's beautiful and has the power to reflect nature, the world, and us as humans, yet she's uniquely herself, carrying her truth forward—no matter what. May we all learn from her and do better for one another, ourselves, and the planet! . . . . . #traumainformed #traumasensitive #traumahealing #TrekkintoHeal #traumainformedcare #buildingtraumasensitiveschools #hope #resilience #Trauma #Healing #nature #art

Childhood trauma is preventable! There are things we can do to stop the harm—by making systems level change together. While we're building trauma-sensitive learning environments, let's also advocate for laws and policies that will protect individuals and families from overwhelming stress and ensure access to resources everyone needs. Plus, we can center recovery and healing in all our relationships as we create trauma-sensitive communities that are good for each and every one of us. Thank you attachtraumanetwork for your continued advocacy and educational efforts and for organizing this year's Trekkin' to Heal Trauma event! We're sharing their graphics today (e.g., 8 things you should know about childhood trauma). We'd love for you to be part of Ms. Jen's team as we move (e.g., walk, run, or swim) for trauma-sensitive change!
