This training will explore the impact of trauma through a racial trauma-informed and social justice lens with applicable interventions focused on a liberation approach. For the many trauma survivors, who have not had the opportunity to fully process and heal from their experiences, it can play out in parenting patterns, substance misuse, difficulty with work or education and even family violence, neglect, and abuse, perpetuating the trauma for the next generation.This training will explore the effects of racial trauma and how it presents in people’s lives: generational, historical, and intersectional cultural perspectives. Attendees will explore how implicit bias and personal experiences can impact the provision of care and offer strategies for providing interventions through a liberation lens and equip them to provide culturally humble and empathetic services.
