Learn How Culture and Belonging Help People Heal from Trauma

A webinar on July 22, 2024 will teach people how culture and belonging help communities heal from trauma. The event is hosted by Trauma Transformed and their Healing the Hurt program. Cultural leaders, researchers, and people who work in healing will share ideas about how communities can create better healing spaces. They will talk about how trauma affects different cultures and races, and how unfair systems make trauma worse. The webinar will show how healing should include cultural practices that matter to each community. This is important because civic healing starts when people and communities feel better. The speakers want civic leaders to see trauma as something the whole community needs to address, not just doctors and therapists. They will share ways to make institutions more trauma-informed through culturally responsive care. People who attend can learn how to bring trauma-informed care to their workplaces, neighborhoods, and organizations. The webinar happens at 10 AM Pacific Time, 12 PM Central Time, and 1 PM Eastern Time. This connects to health, wellness, and care in communities, focusing on trauma-informed care and healing justice.
