Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents of urban American neighborhoods facing economic hardship often experience individual and collective adversities at high levels. This study explores how racially diverse adults experience stress, adversity, and trauma, and how they cope and heal in the context of their environment. Following a critical realist grounded theory methodology, four focus groups were conducted with African American, White and Latinx participants (N\u2009=\u200921) within an employment service program. Participants identified key stressors ranging from financial and job challenges, violence, and trauma. To cope with and heal from adversity, they practiced positivity, named trauma and its effects, sought social connection, envisioned community\u2010based resources, and addressed structural and systemic barriers. The data generated a theory of \u201ca mutual process of healing self and healing the community\u201d through intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural change. The results of this study indicate a need for peer\u2010led, community\u2010engaged initiatives and holistic, trauma\u2010informed, healing\u2010centered practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
