In contrast to the discourse on health as a matter of cultural deficit/social dysfunction, the healing-centered engagement framework highlighted in this document uses an asset-driven approach that centers "repair and resilience using a strengthsbased lens that utilizes the knowledge and skills of the individual and their community. The focus is on wellbeing and positive outcomes, rather than pathologizing damage.12 This requires empowering individuals and communities to reclaim their agency and identifying and nurturing individuals’ strengths, resources, and cultural assets as sources of resilience and healing.27" (16).
