‘A‘ali‘i Kū Makani: Healing and Resilience for Ourselves and Our Children From a Hawaiian Perspective

 ‘A‘ali‘i Kū Makani:  Healing and Resilience for Ourselves and Our Children From a Hawaiian Perspective with Aukahi Austin Seabury, Ph.D.

Education is a vital pathway to health and wellbeing. Our schools can be a place of healing and strengthening for our children. In this presentation, we will look at various forms of trauma (personal, cultural, historical, and systemic) and how they appear in our schools and communities. We will use case examples to understand approaches from Hawaiian culture and worldview that promote healing, growth, and resilience. Join us to learn practical strategies that can be applied today with our students and ourselves to promote wellbeing.
