For some of us, this trauma will leave us incapacitated and exhibiting behaviours challenging to us and those around us. While there is much written on psychological interventions for the scar of trauma, 'Finding strength in Numbers' takes a much different approach. It delves into the importance of community in our healing journey. It is in the small and often unexpected interactions with others that our trauma is healed. Written for the layman, 'Finding Strength in Numbers' is written for the community member who wants to live in connection with their neighbours and create a better place where they live.
