Unlocking the Future: How Healing Trauma Ignites Foresight

Join us as we explore the groundbreaking concept of "trauma-transformative foresight," a powerful approach integrating trauma healing with futures thinking. Discover how unresolved past traumas can constrain our ability to envision positive futures due to shared brain regions for past and future thinking. Drawing insights from a study with Kenyan youth and the Kumekucha Quest program, we'll reveal how community-led healing fosters a profound shift from "futures unconsciousness" to "futures consciousness" across critical dimensions like agency, optimism, and systems thinking. Learn how this transformation is not just about individual well-being, but essential for realizing long-term developmental outcomes, including the World Health Organization's "Triple Dividend" in health, productivity, and intergenerational well-being. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in empowering marginalized communities and breaking free from "used futures" to create a brighter tomorrow!
