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.
