Trauma Series Session 5 - Trauma 108: Trauma and Racism

Pittsburgh, PA US
February 27, 2024

This workshop provides information about racism with a focus on defining basic aspects and components of racism, historic racism, and researcher bias.  Specific areas to be reviewed include the following:  Implicit Bias and the Neuroscience of Bias, white privilege, colorism and microaggressions, the intersection of trauma and racism, reasons to have hope including theory of change, social movement, and tipping point, A.R.C. of racial reconciliation, constructive, critical, and courageous conversations, and the myth of race.

Additionally, time will be spent integrating trauma principles to highlight the profound impact of racism while offering ideas about the responsibilities of white and BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) to actively promote anti-racism and social equality. There are opportunities for individual reflection and constructive conversations among participants to allow consideration of action steps to take as individuals, communities, and a society to challenge and change attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors around race.
