OVERCOMING
We’ll walk hand in hand…
We are not afraid…
We shall live in peace…
Deep in my heart I do believe
WE SHALL OVERCOME SOME DAY!
In the United States Civil Rights tradition, “We Shall Overcome” became an anthem of courage and perspective and community. Overcoming does not imply getting rid of, or fixing, or even necessarily changing external facts or circumstance, but it implies a movement through what sometimes cannot be changed, a movement that involves courage, and meaning-making, and forgiveness…a movement that involves the various components of Disaster-Related Mental Health that are the focus of this part of this website.
We dedicate this section of this website to those who have walked hand-in-hand, not afraid, peacefully, and with deep belief in their hearts, that they could overcome the experience of disaster.
