    Mental Health and Peacebuilding | Rowda Olad | Episode 37

    In today's peacebuilding landscape, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) have emerged as essential components. Any peacebuilding or reconciliation initiative that overlooks MHPSS neglects a crucial aspect of holistic peacebuilding, which should be trauma-informed and human-centered rather than solely technical.

Maandeeq is a nonprofit organization that aims to integrate mental health and trauma healing into the realm of peacebuilding and community development.

The episode delves into the importance of MHPSS in fostering sustainable peace and shares Rowda's aspirations for the future of MHPSS-based initiatives.

    Forging the New Frontier of Peace | Cam Cassar | Episode 35

    As peacebuilders, we dedicate ourselves to the cause of creating sustainable peace. However, it's crucial to ask how we can achieve this sustainability without adequately training and empowering the next generation of peacebuilders, equipping them with the essential tools to perpetuate the cycle of peace. In our quest to understand the pivotal role of trauma and neuroscience in our field, we need to ensure that we impart a trauma-informed approach to peacebuilding to the upcoming generation. This approach is inseparable from the concept of peace, as we continually refine our human-centered strategies for fostering peace.  In this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, our host, Colette Rausch, engages in a conversation with Cam Cassar, the podcast’s Senior Producer and a member of the next generation of peacebuilders. Together, they delve into Cam's journey into the field of peacebuilding, his relationship with peacebuilding and neuroscience during his undergraduate and graduate studies, the genesis of the Think Peace Podcast, and where he hopes to take his research and experience working within the field of peacebuilding.

    Answering the Call for Justice | Eduardo Gonzalez | Episode 34

    When discussing justice, many think that there is a one size fits all approach. In reality, justice has many different interpretations that are applicable to a wealth of different contexts and scenarios. It is important to have justice processes that are designed holistically and take into account the knowledge of other cultures and most importantly the diversity of the human experience. On this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, our host Colette Rausch sits down with Think Peace Learning and Support Hub Director of Truth-Telling and global transitional justice expert Eduardo Gonzalez to explain how his experiences growing up in Peru during a time of civil strife laid the foundation for his interest in transitional justice, how the field has evolved from its early iterations to become more inclusive of different viewpoints, and how the notions of trauma, healing, and human rights have informed his approach to transitional justice and peacebuilding.
