Annotation

This webinar addresses the effects of trauma inflicted on groups of people because of their race, creed, and ethnicity and how they linger on the souls of their descendants. As a result, many people in these same communities experience higher rates of mental and physical illness, substance abuse, and erosion in families and community structures. The persistent cycle of trauma destroys family and communities and threatens the vibrancy of entire cultures. Historical trauma is not just about what happened in the past. It's about what's still happening.

Learning Objectives

• What is historical trauma

• How is historical trauma perpetuated today

• How connection to cultural and community can heal wounds
