Puncky Paul Heppner is one of the most productive counseling psychologists; he is also a social justice advocate, loving partner, and artist. Dr. Heppner has influenced counseling psychology in immeasurable ways. He is internationally recognized for his research on applied problem-solving and research methods, widely acknowledged for his visionary and collaborative leadership style, and highly respected for his culturally informed mentoring. In this life narrative, we contextualize his numerous accomplishments. We first discuss the influence of his early life experiences, following his life journey through his undergraduate years and doctoral studies, to his 36-year career at the University of Missouri. We highlight the numerous ways in which Dr. Heppner has influenced (counseling) psychology, including increasing the racial, ethnic, and international representation in the field through his leadership and advocacy as president of the Society of Counseling Psychology and editor of The Counseling Psychologist.

Racial trauma, an ongoing consequence of historical trauma, has deleterious effects on the well-being of Africana communities. The psychological literature primarily reflects individual processes in the relationship between racial trauma and healing. Going beyond individualistic approaches, we present a community healing framework informed by multidisciplinary scholarship: Community Healing and Resistance Through Storytelling ( C-HeARTS). Three major components of the framework are delineated: (a) justice as both a condition of and an outcome of community healing; (b) culturally syntonic processes (i.e., storytelling and resistance) that direct the renarrating of trauma and act as conduits for transformation; and (c) psychological dimensions (i.e., connectedness, collective memory, and critical consciousness) that promote justice-informed outcomes. In the C-HeARTS framework, community is advanced as an agent of change while centering justice and the important role of cultural practices to facilitate community healing.

These faith communities have established intricate support systems that extend far beyond individual counseling, acknowledging the collective nature of traumatic experiences [14].
