“Violence causes trauma and trauma causes violence.” Breaking the cycle means a culture shift is needed in individuals, families, communities, and systems impacted by violence and trauma. Traumatic experiences can be dehumanizing, shocking and terrifying. Often a traumatic experience includes the betrayal of a trusted person or institution and a loss of safety. Trauma can result from experiences of violence, abuse, neglect or disasters that induce powerlessness, fear and recurring hopelessness. Trauma impacts one’s spirituality and relationships often resulting in ongoing feelings of shame, guilt, rage and isolation. Despite all of this, healing and breaking the cycle is possible. In this presentation, Kellibrew addresses trauma and violence using a trauma-informed lens in what he has coined ‘Grandma-Informed Care.’
