Healing the Traumas of War - August 19, 2022

Have you ever felt inadequate, fumbling for the right words to encourage, inspire or comfort someone in a tough situation? Our conversation this week on Counter Culture takes us behind the scenes with Scott Martin and some of the challenging conversations he has mediating conflict in places all over the world. He just returned from Europe, training people through the traumas of conflict and war, specifically with those suffering the effects in Ukraine right now. He guides us through those delicate conversations and how we can show up and meet people where they are at. So many good practical tips.Scott Martin is a Mediator & Conflict Coach with Mediators Beyond Borders International, a landscape architect-turned-peacebuilder, a former chapter president of MBBI-LA and former co-leader of MBBI’s Rwanda project. Martin has been engaged with MBBI for about a decade as a founding member. In 2017, Martin became a Rotary Peace Fellow at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.
