Check out this video by Dr. Donna Hicks. A friend sent this to me recently, and I wanted to share it here.
I think it is particularly relevant when working in environments or situations where conflict is often present, but rarely addressed.
I have also attached a summary of Dr. Hick’s dignity model for your exploration and reflection.

Relando, thank you for sharing this powerful video. Although I would prefer to simply reblog your post on Voices from the Margins with your permission, I can’t see how I can easily do so. So instead, I will share the video with brief introductory remarks along a link to your blog.
Thank you Carolahand,
Yes, since my blog is self-hosted through wordpress.org, It doesn’t have the reblogging option that wordpress.com blogs have. I’m hoping that one day with an upgrade, they will be able to further connect wp.com and wp.org blogs so that the reblogging option will be possible.
I thought this was such a great video, and pairing it up with the actual dignity model makes the lesson even more impactful.
I did post a link to your blog and hope that others will connect to your site. In case you are interested, here’s a link to my post: http://carolahand.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/recognizing-dignity-a-model-for-healing-historical-trauma-and-building-peace/
Again, thank you for this important resource, Relando.
And thank you so much for sharing it!
