Someone recently reminded me of the analogy of rescue workers wading into treacherous waters to save those who had fallen into rushing waters from slipping past the sure hands of rescuers and heading for certain doom at "the falls" downstream....she referred to this line of rescue work as necessary but not always sufficient.....and added that those who withdraw from the immediate rescue efforts and head "upstream" to look for the root causes of those falling into the stream in the first place can appear - at times - to be detached from the "real work" of trauma-informed care.

We know this is far from true, she added - because these "up-streamists" as she referred to them - are actually highly skilled researchers, doctors, policy makers, and care-givers of all shapes and sizes who resolve to travel as farupstream as is necessary.....and who apply their intellect, their expertise, and their influence at precisely that point upstream where their intellect, expertise or influence might prevent the proliferation of such necessary remedies downstream....

Thank you to all such "up-streamists" and your pending discussions.....
