Ginwright: The Future of Healing- Main Arguement

The primary claim made in Shawn Ginwright's "The Future of Healing: Shifting From Trauma Informed Care to Healing Centered Engagement" is that the current paradigm of trauma-informed care, which focuses on treating the symptoms of trauma and hurt, is constrictive and does not fully support the development and well-being of people who have experienced trauma. Ginwright suggests a novel strategy known as "healing centered engagement," which aims to perceive people holistically and put more emphasis on their experiences and strengths than merely their trauma. Additionally collective, this strategy considers cultural contexts and social justice concerns. This new strategy aims to create more resilient people and communities.

Ginwright claims that, despite being a step in the right direction, the trauma-informed care method has drawbacks and may even be detrimental since it overemphasizes the negative effects of trauma and portrays people as victims. He suggests a novel strategy known as Healing Centered Engagement (HCE), which is more comprehensive, humanistic, and group-oriented. HCE takes into account social justice concerns, cultural contexts, and other healing tenets and focuses on "what's right with you" rather than "what happened to you." HCE also places a stronger emphasis on the resilience and abilities of trauma survivors than on their victimhood.

Because it doesn't pathologize people or reduce them to their traumatic experiences, Ginwright contends that this new strategy is more successful. Instead of being defined by their trauma, it aids people in seeing themselves as complete, complicated beings with their own strengths and resilience. HCE aids people in developing a feeling of agency and empowerment by moving the focus from what's wrong with them to what they have going for them, allowing them to see themselves as active participants in their own healing. The main contention of the work is that Healing Centered Engagement provides a more comprehensive, humanistic, and successful approach to healing that places more emphasis on people's strengths and resilience than on their trauma. Healing Centered Engagement emphasizes people's strengths and resilience rather than their trauma.

More than 50% of Latino people do not graduate highschool in the US Lobbyists want make students only speak English in the classroom  Lobbyists want to take away cultural classes  Walkouts in 1969 Hispanic Studies Department started in 1997 Classes focus on learning through the lens of Latin history Wanting to ban their cultural classroom may be coming from a place of misunderstood justice.  Lawmakers want to make students be fully integrated and disregard race Critical race theory Unity festival Assimilation “The words anti American have nothing to do with out classroom” Trying to indoctrinate kids into Marxism, yeah sure Nationalism up the wazoo Protest re burning Mexican flag  We conquered this territory 250 years ago and you should respect that I personally do not think that teachers should teach victimization Paraphrase: they should respect our founding fathers who Fought for their Right To be Here This is straight up horrifying  Second grade data to plan prisons	Kohn Kohn would highly approve of this classroom environment, the students are constantly interacting with one another and the teacher can often be found among them. The room is overflowing with information and resources for students and has many posters on the walls. I’m certain Kohn would be disappointed to say the least in how the state handled this class, the teacher, and the ideologies they represent.  Delpit The teacher is giving the student clear information on the rules and codes of power! Having them read philosophers and deciding what they think is fair in their society, giving them the chance to talk about their struggles and how power dynamics affect their lives. This really speaks to Delpit’s idea of incorporating and celebrating cultural heritage as well. Finn Finn would find this style of education to be entirely optimal. Giving students the tools they need to go against a system that oppresses them. This is truly Literacy with an Attitude! Culturally Responsive Teaching  We have discussed at length the importance of letting students maintain language and heritage in this class. In the documentary that is the entire focus of the course that is being eliminated. It really shows how uneducated the lawmakers can be on what is essential to a fruitful education.
