Facebook post: Another topic I have learned a lot about at the UN conference is caring
for immigrants and refugees. At this session the speakers were talking
about how to heal refugee trauma. They emphasized creating a sense of
safety and trust. One speaker, a former refugee, said that you never
feel truly safe until your new community welcomes you (something that is
occurring less and less these days unfortunately). One lady does yoga
and breathing exercises to help them reset their brains and help them
get in touch with themselves and their bodies. Even during dark times in
our lives, beauty can be found...
