Trauma is the Greek word for wound and psyche is the Latin word for soul. From these ancient words we get both the clinical term psychological trauma and the poetic term soul wound. Many children suffer such terrible loneliness and emptiness. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty which in essence is a poverty of the soul. The mission of the Wellness Center is to be a safe, compassionate space of connection and HOPE where we support our students through their trauma to be healthier future agents of change, resiliency, and hope.
