Professional and Personal Reflections on the Masks of Trauma
Trauma informed care, and trauma responses offer robust paths to healing for First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples in Canada. There are many masks of trauma, the colonial mask, the warrior mask, the survivor / surviving mask (etc.). Masks hold a rich narrative for storytellers, and can also help us in seeing trauma in multiple ways.
