In this webinar, you will hear from five expert trauma therapists about their experiences and reflective processes while working with children and families who have experienced developmental trauma and come from complex backgrounds in terms of race, ethnicity, culture, and identity. In addition, Dr. Rocio Chang (who also participated in the roundtable discussion) will moderate live commentary with Dr. Maureen Allwood, Dr. Ernestine Briggs-King, and Dr. Russell Jones. They will talk about the importance of open conversations related to the roundtable topics as well as the impacts of recent events that have brought racism to the forefront.
This training addresses how "White supremacy" culture has systematically served as the formation, foundation, and expression of institutional racism throughout U.S. history by employing institutional policies and cultural conflicts of “divide and conquer” between different communities. The current and concerning rise in attacks against Asian-Americans reflects an underlying societal problem that requires urgent and radical healing approaches to pull out the roots of racism, dismantle White supremacist structures, and shift toward more pluralistic, mutually supportive, and trauma-informed relationships in society. This webinar also includes subsequent recommendations for forward progress.
Author Jeremy Tisby offers advice on how to have a conversation with children about race, from experiential learning to watching classic animated films.
