This book tells the story of how a number of community based
projects in response to collective trauma were carried out. It
presents an iterative process of program development that is
becoming a best practice in the field of psychosocial support. The
basic ideas elaborated in this book are now being incorporated into
the UN sponsored Handbook on Community-based Mental Health and
Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Emergencies. More and more
clinicians and community practitioners are developing the kinds of
models presented in this book to address a range of mental health
challenges not only in situations of collective trauma. The book
has become a text book in many social work programs and post
graduate certificate program in trauma studies (see program
described in Saul and Simon 2016 on program at Columbia
University). I am currently using the book as text in an
international program I direct with Bilgi University Istanbul, and
the International Organization for Migration certificate program in
humanitarian response. I am being asked to present the work in
major international conferences. The other books that have come out
recently on collective trauma and healing do not take a
multi-systemic approach. They tend to incorporate such ideas into
an individual clinical model and do not demonstrate how to work to
strengthen resilience in families, communities and organizations.
