Event Details

While trauma researchers have made great strides in understanding and treating single-episode present-life trauma, they are just beginning to explore the impact of intergenerational trauma and its expression.

Addressing present-day traumas like racism that relate to the original trauma is key to helping new generations heal and move on. Example are:

·      Living with racially oriented fear and worry

·      Fear-based survival message like “Don’t ask for help-it’s dangerous”

·      Never let your guard down

In this 30-minute session, we will discuss how racism can be viewed under the lens of trauma. We will briefly discuss how the legacy of trauma impacts our present circumstances. We will define intergenerational trauma and explain what this looks like in our present communities. Finally, we will discuss how we can take action to begin to heal this trauma and our communities.
