Trauma Counselling Breakaways

The aftermath of violence is severe trauma and the medical specialists advise that remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of the individual victims affected by the violent situation.

Fundamental to the recovery of those suffering from trauma is to;

• Establish safety
• Reconstruct the trauma story
• Restore the connection between survivors and the community (Herman quote)

The aim of Sun and Sandals is to perform all three of these recovery steps by organising a breakaway from the conventional environment into a safe space for talking about that particular trauma and thereby restore the connection that is not only disconnected but frequently shattered to shreds.
