Signature strength spoeng in yourself • When we live connected to our strengths we are more likely to feel a
sense of purpose that gives rise to psychological well-‐being and happiness. In this exercise we invite you to take a deep dive to the origin of your signature strengths. The VIA provides a lens from which we can view and reflect on our strengths. A signature strength is a character trait that is deeply held – a trait that is part of defining one’s essence. It is a very strong tendency of thought, feeling, and ac>on. As opposed to other character strengths, signature strengths are so central to a person’s psychological iden>ty that suppressing or ignoring any of those strengths would seem unnatural and very difficult. There are many different kinds of stories that might be told. While some might include posi>ve emo>ons, many tales of courage, jus>ce, humanity, wisdom, temperance, and transcendence are filled with struggle or adversity. All of these situa>ons provide us with valuable lessons.

Interview Guide Aker reviewing your VIA results you may recognize some strengths as very familiar or you may have a different understanding of your strengths. You know yourself best. How do you describe your signature strengths? Next, pick one or two of your signature strengths and think about the origin of these strengths and connect them with your early experiences. Some strengths feel as though you were born with them, they are just part of who you are and have always been. They are part of your temperament. Other strengths are learned through experience, some are even learned through adversity or especially challenging circumstances. • Please tell me a story that gives me a pre1y clear picture or idea about
where your strength came from. • Who no;ced this strength and endorsed it for you? • What good things have come from ;mes when you lived into this
strength?

Reflec>ons

• Storyteller be prepared to share the experience of hearing story teller reflected.

Phase 2: Connec>ng strengths to trust and well-‐being
Trust in Teams • Tell me about a >me when you experienced being a part of a group like
this. It could be with KIMO or another group that you have been part of as a member. It is oken a family group or a community group. Please share that story. Really tell all of the details.
• A. What group are you thinking about? Can you tell me some of the details about this group? Who are they? How old were you when you were a part of this group? Are you s>ll connected with them?
• B. How was trust established and maintained in the group? • C. How did you know that trust was present and how did you establish
and nurture it? • D. What were the benefits of having an “environment of trust”? To you?
To the group?

Walking The Journey Together – Dialogical Prac;ce Guideposts
• Suspend assump>ons and keep an open mind. A dialogue is a shared quest for meaning.
• Lik every voice. Our inten>on is to lik everyone’s voice higher. Make sure every voice is heard.
• Honor our differences. We can honor our differences without trying to reconcile them. Wonder, “Where is our common ground?” How do we walk the journey together?
• We create meaning together, a “memorandum of understanding”. Without others meaning breaks down, value is lost, and the team loses its vitality.
• Create a safe place. There must be a “safe container” created for the conversa>on, a place without hos>lity or fear.
• Observe and listen to one another. This collabora>ve listening posi>on, is focused on listening for understanding as opposed to listening for nego>a>on.
• Be apprecia>ve, aoen>ve and respecpul, allow space for the other without interrup>ng and offer posi>ve rather than judging comments or ques>ons.

TR604: Collec>ve Trauma and Community Healing
• This 3CR advanced trauma course explores collec>ve trauma and community interven>ons and provides a deep understanding of the humanitarian needs of individuals, families, organiza>ons and communi>es in Eastern Africa (Kenya), living under condi>ons of con>nuous trauma>c stress. It will widen the lens from which we view trauma theory and treatment, to include an emphasis on resilience, posi>ve deviance, and strength based approaches to treatment. The immersion experience is designed to offer students an opportunity to do field work and collaborate with counselors and community service providers from a Kenyan Non-‐Government Organiza>on (NGO). Current programs include: drug and alcohol abuse preven>on, peace building, relief and disaster management, youth and family programs, educa>onal outreach, and programs to promote access to healthcare for marginalized groups of the Kenyan popula>on. The student is responsible for an addi>onal course fee to cover transporta>on, room and board.
