“…Resilience in literature has been explored extensively through an individual perspective (Garmezy, 1993;Masten, 2015), but it is possible to explore this construct through an ecological and community perspective (Norris et al, 2008). Individual resilience contributes to community resilience (Reid & Botterill, 2013) and community resilience is defined as the community's ability to use its resources to cope with a traumatic event or sudden disorder, and eventually be able to absorb the disorder, return to routine and prepare for future critical events (Freeman et al, 2022;Sullivan et al, 2021;Yip et al, 2021). Therefore, community resilience has been defined as a multidimensional construct that refers to the ability of the local community to operate as a complex system and to adapt to collective adversity and includes several aspects such as economic resources, information and communication, social support, community competence, which covers aspects such as community participation and the sense of belonging to it (Norris et al, 2008).…”

Communities affected by cumulative trauma can experience negative psychological reactions but also posttraumatic growth and community resilience, which promote adaptation and preparation for future traumatic events. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms that mediate the relationship between traumatic events and perceived community resilience. Participants were 118 Italian adults who experienced cumulative trauma and were recruited to complete an online survey. A serial multiple mediation model was estimated to assess whether the impact of the Morandi bridge collapse and posttraumatic growth mediated the relationship between the psychological impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic and perceived community resilience. The impact of the collapsed bridge and posttraumatic growth in serial partially mediated the relationship between the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic and perceived community resilience. The impact of cumulative trauma can be considered through an ecological perspective that considers the consequences of these events in relation to community resilience.

“…CRM is a public health intervention that supports people and their communities through recovery by reconnecting with the body and each other after a crisis and disaster (Leitch, 2007; Leitch et al, 2009; Leitch & Miller-Karas, 2009; Miller-Karas, 2015; Parker et al, 2008). Recovery is supported by strengthening mind–body connection, increasing understanding of emotions as biological responses, and teaching communities the six wellness skills for complex, cumulative, and traumatic stress responses (Freeman et al, 2021; Table 1).…”

“…A study with San Bernardino County Mental Health demonstrated communal learning of the wellness skills destigmatized behavioral health services for urban communities impacted by structural poverty and violence by emphasizing helping others, self-care, and resilience (Freeman et al, 2021; Grabbe, Higgins, Jordan, et al, 2021). Disconnection is caused by pathologizing symptoms and implicating mental weakness; traumatic stress activation is about biology not weakness (Miller-Karas, 2015).…”

The purpose of this study was to inform the development of a crisis prevention process model focusing on the qualities present in relationships among unhoused Indigenous peoples and integrated healthcare providers when crisis is prevented. The scope of the study is on multidisciplinary healthcare teams (MHT) and removing barriers for clients to access the resources they need. This key-informant study conducted 24 semistructured interviews including (14) unhoused Indigenous people and (10) members of their MHT in 2021. The study consisted of two phases beginning with identifying study and interview questions through a participatory evaluation process. During the second phase, interviews were conducted and recorded by researcher. Coding assistance by the research team supported heuristic content analysis. An integrated healthcare provider's cultural understanding of a client emerged as a fundamental tenant for a client to experience a sense of belonging on their MHT. Seventy-two significant statements were identified, two themes were acquired, structured into three categories, and synthesized into eight codes: cultural understanding, sense of belonging, focusing, strengths, listen, communication, informed, and intraorganizational systems. Ethical distress contributed to escalated crises and prevention barriers while MHT cohesion enhanced the capacity to support a client's success. Participant experiences shaped theoretical integration of the relational-cultural theory, motivational interviewing, and the Community Resiliency Model prevention process model to improve MHT safety planning. The implications for integrated healthcare and housing policy are to increase multilevel support for organizations to sustain MHT cohesion and maintain intraorganizational systems. Public Health Significance StatementThis study addresses the problem of health disparities among unhoused Indigenous peoples with focus on reducing safety incidents in community behavioral health settings. The integration of relational and somatic clinical models expands on trauma-informed care to further the paradigm shift from a deficit model to an emphasis on resilience and healing in recovery. Public health implications are identified on the interpersonal, multidisciplinary, organizational, and structural policy and practice levels.

“…(10,16,17) Dentre suas variáveis, o Community Resiliency Model (CRM) mostrou-se ser uma estratégia eficaz para melhora do bem-estar psicológico e da resiliência, além da diminuição do estresse pós-traumático, do estresse, do burnout e dos sintomas somáticos associados entre pessoas que passaram por algum trauma ou situação de estresse intenso -e, principalmen-te, entre os trabalhadores de saúde da linha de frente durante a pandemia de COVID-19. (16,30) Outrossim, destacam-se intervenção psicológica e aconselhamento (10,17,25) como medidas complementares e essenciais para desenvolver estratégias de mitigação do sofrimento psicológico e da ideação suicida. Dada a alta prevalência de sofrimento psicológico, sintomas ansiosos e sintomas depressivos, entre a equipe de enfermagem durante a pandemia, medidas de intervenção psicológica fizeram-se necessárias, para diminuir os impactos mentais sustentados e traçar formas de tratamento mais assertivas.…”
