We discuss the importance of human connection in healing and resilience, particularly in the context of intergenerational trauma among marginalized communities. Our conversation touches on the transformative power of overcoming adversity and the necessity of nurturing environments for children. We reflect on the societal shift towards instant information access, which can detract from relational richness and emotional intelligence. We also examine the impact of COVID-19 on youth mental health and advocate for a community-focused approach to psychiatric practices that emphasize collective healing. Throughout our discussion, we highlight the critical importance of precise language in discussing trauma, advocating for an integrated approach that combines neuroscience, psychology, and community insights to enhance overall well-being.Dr. Perry is the Principal of the  Neurosequential Network  and a Professor (Adjunct) at theSchool of Allied Health, Human Services and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria Australia.  Over the last thirty years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician and researcher in children’s mental health and the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions.
