Re-Threading Our Social Fabric: Building Human Connection Together

Integrative Trauma Treatment Center (ITTC) is hosting a community event centered on creating connection through conversation, using shared reflection, storytelling, and meaningful dialogue as tools for connection and growth. Together, we’ll watch the Learning through Storytelling video, which explores Rwanda’s remarkable journey of recovery and reconnection after the 1994 genocide. Through guided reflection and open discussion, we’ll examine both Rwanda’s cultural strengths and our own personal and collective pathways to connection. The evening will also include space to share snacks and mingle—offering an opportunity to practice connection in real time.
