The impact of collective and individual trauma on the personal development of young people in Port-au-Prince While writers, actors, dancers, poets, among others, have gratified us with their performances, the master’s degree student in psychology at the Faculty of Human Sciences (FASCH), Lourdya Blaise, spoke with the audience about trauma. Structured around the theme "Youth and Trauma, analysis of the impact of collective and individual trauma on the personal development of young people living in Port-au-Prince between 2010-2024", this conference gave rise to enriching discussions. During this meeting, moderated by Michaël Formilus, Ms. Blaise showed how the events that have taken place in the country have caused cases of trauma among Haitians. According to the student, citing the American Psychological Association, we speak of trauma as a consequence of trauma. The latter is explained by the fact that we feel threatened, whether it is the person in question or their loved ones. However, she specifies that a collective trauma remains depending on the impact that the event has on the individual. To illustrate her remarks, she mentioned the earthquake of January 12, 2010, considered a collective trauma, insofar as it still occupies our minds. This tragedy reminds us of the disappearance of our loved ones and enormous losses. This is the case of a trauma that becomes a collective trauma. For the student, it should be emphasized that when an event occurs, some people are traumatized and others are not. According to him, the violence of armed gangs is not perceived in the same way, says Ms. Blaise. There are people who have fled their homes but are not traumatized. In fact, some people see traumatic situations as a passing event, she says. The speaker also spoke about collective trauma, which, according to him, preoccupies the mind, even if we no longer experience it. It manifests itself in several forms: lack of sleep, fear psychosis, intrusive thoughts, intense heartbeat, etc. Generally, symptoms related to trauma are hard to die. When it persists, it becomes acute stress. To deal with it, we must talk to other people. If the situation persists, acute stress turns into a phase of post-traumatic stress; in this case, we must confide in a trusted person or go see a mental health specialist, she advises. In her presentation, Lourdya Bazile also drew attention to the psychological state of children in these times. According to the presenter, children are also facing this crisis situation, even if they do not talk about it to their parents. As much as adults, children also plan their future. Faced with flouted school years, they become pensive and worried, she stressed. They withdraw. The child who used to be brilliant can become violent and perform less well at school. Parents are called upon to listen to them and understand them. A good moment of exchange, rich in practical advice. The audience participated fully. In turn, the presenter invites them to breathe better and meditate. "We live in a country where worries mix, we must take time for ourselves, do sports, eat well, make sure that the sleeping space is clean and take time for ourselves. There is more than one way to find calm," recalls the psychologist. Gertrude Jean-Louis

Haïti, a rich and impoverished country

Located in the western part of the island of Hispaniola, Haïti is a land imbued with natural, cultural and historical wealth. Unfortunately, behind the beauty of its landscapes, the richness of its culture and the delicacy of its cuisine lies a complex reality marked by the debt of its independence and the persistent interference of third countries, casting a shadow over its stability. b~The Natural Beauty of Haïti~b Haïti, nicknamed the "Pearl of the Antilles", dazzles with the diversity of its landscapes. From majestic mountains and lush valleys to meandering rivers and sandy beaches, the country offers natural beauty worth celebrating. The famous Citadelle Laferrière mountains and the refreshing waterfalls of Bassin-Bleu are just a few examples of the splendor that characterizes this nation. b~A Rich and Diverse Culture~b Haïti stands out for its vibrant and diverse culture. A heritage of African, French and indigenous influence, Haïtian music, dance and art reflect a unique fusion. Colorful festivals, like Carnival, are celebrations of this cultural richness, attracting visitors from all over the world. b~Delicious Cuisine~b Haïtian cuisine, tasty and spicy, is another aspect worth celebrating. Dishes like griot, sticky rice, and the legendary joumou soup, traditionally prepared to commemorate independence, are all culinary delights that demonstrate the country’s gastronomic ingenuity. b~Heritage Treasures and Paradise Beaches~b Haïti’s heritage treasures, such as the remains of the Sans-Souci Palace and the Citadelle Laferrière, listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are testimonies to the architectural grandeur of Haïti’s past. At the same time, beaches like Labadee and Jacmel offer havens of peace with crystal clear waters, attracting travelers in search of a tropical paradise. b~A Fascinating Story~b The history of Haïti is both fascinating and tragic. It was the first country in the Americas to gain its independence, in 1804, after a courageous slave revolt. However, this independence came with a heavy financial price. France demanded exorbitant compensation, thus laying the foundations for Haïti’s foreign debt. b~The Debt of Independence and Foreign Interference~b Despite these treasures, Haïti struggles with the reality of its independence debt. After gaining its freedom, the country was forced to pay France a considerable sum in compensation for losses associated with the abolition of slavery. This debt has been a major economic burden for Haïti, hindering its development. Additionally, foreign interference continues to create significant challenges. External political and economic interventions have often contributed to the country’s instability, hindering its ability to build a sustainable future for its citizens. b~In conclusion~b Haïti remains a country of multiple riches, but its challenges persist. Despite its natural beauty, rich culture and fascinating history, the nation needs enlightened international support and lasting solutions to overcome the obstacles that stand in its way. Haïti’s wealth lies not only in its enchanting landscapes, but also in the potential of its people to be resilient and prosper despite persistent challenges.
