Broader awareness of and open discourse around individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma in our systems could be transformative for mainstream social and environmental problem-solving efforts.

How do layers of individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma act as powerful forces in our present-day systems?
How does this understanding help us discern new ways of doing the work of systems change?
