The Well-being and Reslience (WebR) Framework
Our Well-being and Resilience (WebR) Framework examines peaceful behavior, particularly resistance to reactionary forces and ideas, to understand violent behavior more deeply. Our work focuses on preventing violence in a range of contexts, including violent extremism, violent crime, gender-based violence, and ethnic violence.
By tackling trauma head-on and cultivating resilience, we are paving the way for a more peaceful world. Our WebR methodology centers around three key approaches: 1) healing-centered peacebuilding, 2) nurturing resilience through cultural and artistic expression, and 3) community-driven initiatives focused on holistic care.
Our approach to community healing is rooted in a strength-based perspective, recognizing that communities possess the resources and resilience required to overcome the challenges posed by violence, injustice, and indignity. By engaging in healing, communities can take the lead in their own recovery by identifying and utilizing their strengths to rebuild and restore their social fabric.
