DHS-Drexel-Healing Practices: Interventions and Techniques for Racial Trauma - 10/13/26 VIRTUAL LIVE Online Registration
Course Description: Racial trauma refers to the psychological and emotional distress resulting from experiences of racism, discrimination and oppression. For mental health professionals, it is important to understand how racial trauma impacts individuals and communities, and to develop effective strategies to support healing and resilience. Healing practices for racial trauma are essential for addressing the ongoing impact of systemic, racism and promoting equity and social justice. Racial trauma can have profound effects on individuals' mental health, relationships and sense of identity. By fostering healing and resilience, communities can work toward collective liberation, empowerment and well-being for all members.
