Book Description
Congregational leaders are charged with caring for those inside and outside of faith communities. The care required is not only personal but involves dealing with deeply rooted fractures within the community. Fractures like racism, education inequality and poverty, to name a few, plague those inside and outside of the church. Given our fractured landscape and the diversity of contexts where congregations exist, "How can congregational leaders be both healers and agitators at the same time?" The danger of simply being a healer ignores the underlying causes of the fracture(s) in a community. The danger of simply being an agitator is others ignore you because your voice is monotone. Being a leader who lives in this tension inside a faith community and the public square requires nimbleness. A nimbleness that allows for being an ointment and an irritant when needed. Each chapter of Healing Fractured Communities is written by a pastoral leader engaged in the work of renewal, resilience, and resistance in congregations, on college campuses, and in communities. Each chapter paints a picture of the work of healing, includes takeaways, and questions for reflection.

Book Description
Fractured Communities: Dissecting the Ripple Effects of Gun Violence This book is a fusion of conviction, struggles, and commitment towards the ideals of community healing. Within the pages of this book, Rev. Sky Starr demonstrates her commitment to the healing of communities. As a community advocate and trauma specialist, her work exemplifies the ideology that community healing is a natural part of community development. For racialized communities devastated by gun violence exposure, death, and injuries, this development is wrapped up in the politics of race that hampers community healing. The modern politics of gun violence, primarily related to race and criminality, takes away from the social and psychological impacts of gun violence on individuals, families, and communities. Rev. Starr compels us to re-examine, reframe, and redefine the issue of gun violence from a humanistic perspective, by settling on the heart of the matter-the traumatic impact of violence on communities. She challenges us to think of the centrality of the impacts on affected communities, and calls attention to the urgency for social change. Annette Bailey, PhD Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada About the Author Reverend Sky Starr is a well-known pillar of the Toronto community and functions as a minister, therapist, educator, researcher, author, celebrant, advocate, and sought-out consultant for her grief, trauma, and gun violence expertise. Rev. Starr holds a Master's in Psychology and a Bachelor's in Community and Religious Studies from Tyndale University. As an avid community stakeholder, she helped form a crisis response network team in Jane & Finch that she co-chaired for three years as a crisis first-responder.

Recognizing there was no adequate help for victims and survivors of gun violence, OOB's purpose continues to provide humanitarian support in response to the ongoing grief-related trauma experienced by youth, families and communities affected by gun violence. Providing creative, compassionate care for people traumatized by violence, the Reverend also works with schools and organizations across the Greater Toronto Area, from a trans-cultural and caring perspective.

Book Description
This open access book aims to provide a comprehensive but practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture. It considers this from the perspectives of all of the settings in which this group of patients receive nursing care. Globally, a fragility fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. This amounts to 25 000 fractures per day or 9 million per year. The financial costs are reported to be: 32 billion EUR per year in Europe and 20 billon USD in the United States. As the population of China ages, the cost of hip fracture care there is likely to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2020 and 265 billion by 2050 (International Osteoporosis Foundation 2016). Consequently, the need for nursing for patients with fragility fracture across the world is immense. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers, and the impact of each one of those expected 9 million hip fractures is significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence and decreased life expectancy. There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention based on the increasing evidence that such models make a difference. There is also a need to promote and facilitate high quality, evidence-based effective care to those who suffer a fragility fracture with a focus on the best outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation and secondary prevention of further fracture. The care community has to understand better the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of the patient so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. This book supports these needs by providing a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in fragility fracture care.

Book Description
One of the most respected religious thinkers of our time makes an impassioned plea for the return of religion to its true purpose—as a partnership with God in the work of ethical and moral living. What are our duties to others, to society, and to humanity? How do we live a meaningful life in an age of global uncertainty and instability? In To Heal a Fractured World, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks offers answers to these questions by looking at the ethics of responsibility. In his signature plainspoken, accessible style, Rabbi Sacks shares with us traditional interpretations of the Bible, Jewish law, and theology, as well as the works of philosophers and ethicists from other cultures, to examine what constitutes morality and moral behavior. “We are here to make a difference,” he writes, “a day at a time, an act at a time, for as long as it takes to make the world a place of justice and compassion.” He argues that in today’s religious and political climate, it is more important than ever to return to the essential understanding that “it is by our deeds that we express our faith and make it real in the lives of others and the world.” To Heal a Fractured World—inspirational and instructive, timely and timeless—will resonate with people of all faiths.

Book Description
Mass trauma has made entire towns and cities into monuments of heartbreak and loss. Here is a book to guide the communal recovery. After the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, local caregivers, civic leaders, and first responders had the daunting task of navigating emotional and physical trauma as they stitched their community back together. The recovery process takes years, and as the coordinator of the Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team, Melissa Glaser managed the town’s response. She developed a unique set of therapeutic and transferable best practices that other communities can learn from. The impact of an intense media presence and the long-term financial needs of recovery work are also included in Healing a Community. Through heartbreaking insights, Glaser conveys the importance of meeting traumatized individuals where they are at in the process. Lessons learned in Newtown can be used to create a universal community mental health disaster plan so leaders, therapists, and families know what to do the next time tragedy occurs.
