Historical Trauma: Understanding it’s Impacts, How to Heal and How to Move Forward

Niquanna Barnett The purpose of this workshop is to provide education in regard to historical trauma and the impact that it has on African Americans, Native Americans, and other ethnic communities. For the audience to gain a better understanding of how past events have shaped the culture and DNA of different ethnicities and how it shapes and plays a role in regard to intergenerational trauma. This workshop will help people to work together to combat the effects of racism, prejudices, microaggressions and misogyny. This workshop will also serve as a call to action for us to continue to be a diverse organization, society and institution and work on combating these issues. I would like to discuss how we as a society can better understand historical trauma, work with cultures that suffer from it and how to hopefully break the cycle of it continuing. It is important for anyone working with minorities and other ethnic groups to have cultural competency, and knowledge of historical trauma is a significant part of that. Understanding historical trauma and microaggressions can also help with understanding the different cycle of emotions many African Americans are experiencing in conjunction with current societal events.
