From Durham, New Hampshire, to every corner of the globe, UNH Wildcats roam everywhere. This week, #WildcatsRoam to Ireland! 🍀 Today we journey through Belfast and Dublin, where UNH social work students are gaining powerful insights into healing and reconciliation. Through the UNH College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) bi-annual program, 12 undergraduate and graduate students immersed themselves in Ireland's approach to trauma recovery and social services. At Belfast's Wave Trauma Center, students heard moving stories from survivors of The Troubles. "His wife was killed, but he wasn't resentful," shares Mikayla Tobin '26. "He just wanted to create a safe space for others to heal." Under the guidance of professor Trish Cox, these Wildcats are drawing meaningful parallels between Irish and U.S. social welfare systems, gaining perspectives that can't be replicated in a classroom. Thanks to scholarships from retired UNH professors, many experienced international travel for the first time – opening their eyes to global approaches in social work. "Through the program, students gain a profound understanding of the critical role relationships and people's stories play in a nation still in the process of healing," says Cox. And these Wildcats are proving that compassion and understanding know no borders. Follow along each week as we showcase Where the Wildcats Roam: UNH alumni, students and faculty who are changing the world through groundbreaking achievements and bold leadership. 🐾 https://lnkd.in/eym_DW49
