This Project Demonstrating Excellence consists of a contextual essay and a manual developed in response to people traumatized by Hurricane Mitch and political violence in Central America. The PDE investigated the issue: Body-mind-spirit practices promote the healing of traumatic stress in grassroots people. Research included a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including questionnaires, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The problems addressed were the lack of resources for grassroots people affected by personal and communal trauma, and the lack of research regarding the use of holistic methods for healing trauma.

520 $a This Project Demonstrating Excellence consists of a contextual essay and a manual developed in response to people traumatized by Hurricane Mitch and political violence in Central America. The PDE investigated the issue: Body-mind-spirit practices promote the healing of traumatic stress in grassroots people. Research included a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including questionnaires, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The problems addressed were the lack of resources for grassroots people affected by personal and communal trauma, and the lack of research regarding the use of holistic methods for healing trauma.
520 $a Research was carried out in 1999 in Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala through pilot trainings with grassroots people affected by the trauma of Hurricane Mitch and years of political violence. Using methods of popular education, body-mind-spirit practices, such as Tai Chi, acupressure, visualization, and breathing exercises, were taught to grassroots; leaders as a way to release energy blocked by traumatic stress. Leaders in turn shared the practices with their communities as a way to empower people to take on their own healing process. Research findings from questionnaires supported the issue and showed a lessening of symptoms related to traumatic stress as a result of using body-mind-spirit practices. Findings from focus groups and in-depth interviews also supported the issue investigated and showed the value of specific practices with different kinds of populations. Leaders used the practices with a variety of people: indigenous, refugees, prisoners, youth, battered women and children, religious, and unionists.
520 $a Based on the research, a manual was developed to serve as a popular education resource. The manual, following a holistic view of the person and the society, offers body-mind-spirit practices to promote and support the inherent healing capacity of the person and the community. The manual is not a treatment program, nor is it meant to replace one-on-one therapy where available for persons whose signs of trauma are severe. The manual can complement and support already existing community resources, cultural practices, and mental health programs.
