We do not have to be therapists to be therapeutic. We need to take proactive measures to prevent a psychosocial crisis-a pandemic that may be both more silent and more deadly than the global COVID-19 pandemic.Ĭhildren need to feel safe to regain their voice and make meaning out of the pain they endured. Trauma can make or break us as individuals, families, and communities. When we reach within ourselves to discover our humanity, it allows us to reach out to the innocent children and remind them of their resilience and beauty. We can, however, help reduce its long-term impacts, which can span generations. The damage done by war-related trauma can never be undone. This blazing fire must be extinguished, not fed. Humans can inflict pain upon each other, but they also can (and should) invest in healing. It is our moral responsibility to refuse to hate. Unfortunately, it is the nature of this beast no one is immune to trauma. We have heard of Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi, Somali, Yemenis, and Rohingya refugees now as history repeats itself we write about Ukrainian refugees.
