Abstract

This presentation examines trauma counseling practices for individuals and communities affected by genocide and war. Grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive frameworks, it highlights the psychological impact of mass violence, intergenerational trauma, and systemic oppression. Attendees will explore evidence-based interventions (e.g., EMDR, ART, narrative therapy), assessment strategies, and ethical considerations that promote mental health, social justice, and self-empowerment in populations whose identities have been fractured by conflict and inequity.
