Are You The Trauma Or The Treatment
04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
This presentation is designed to ask participants one fundamental question: Are you the trauma or the treatment for racially minoritized people? All people, irrespective of their racial background, which includes racially minoritized in-group members, can perpetuate racial trauma on people who are already psychologically and emotionally predisposed to be on-guard for racist threats. The critical objection is to recognize how the foundation and history of race and racism play out to reinforce social and public health inequalities: Participants will 1) Obtain an understanding of the foundation of racial oppression and how it has carried over to modern time; 2) Acquire a deeper understanding of Racial Battle Fatigue and Racial Battle Fatigue Contagion; and 3) Learn what are strategies for Resilience and Effective Allyship.
