Research & Practice Innovations in Healing Interpersonal & Racial Trauma for Black Youth & Families

February 25 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm PST

Free

This training explores the profound impact of interpersonal trauma on Black youth, with a focus on the compounding stress of race-related experiences such as microaggressions and vicarious trauma. Participants will engage with the latest research and practice innovations aimed at healing both interpersonal and racial trauma, particularly within community-based service settings such as Children’s Advocacy Centers, hospitals, schools, and social services.

The training will examine how racial stress and trauma influence mental health, behavioral, and academic outcomes, often being overlooked in conventional trauma treatment frameworks. Participants will explore evidence-based trauma treatment strategies proven effective for Black youth and families while emphasizing the need for culturally informed practices. Special attention will be given to integrating cultural strengths and protective factors, such as racial socialization, to promote resilience, coping, and improved treatment engagement.
