This workshop will look at the impact that culture plays when working with people of color and will look at the influence that elders, religion, music, slavery, and fear play in trying to undo and unlearn trauma. We will look at family dynamics and the role that fears play in parenting styles or the lack of, and will also look at how black culture normalizes and use comedy as a way to cope with their trauma.

Participants will leave with a better understanding of factors that interfere with current trauma interventions when working with the Black family. Participants will also leave understanding what integrational trauma is and how to help Black families heal through acknowledgement and validation.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand what intergenerational trauma is and the impact it has on Black identifying individuals
• Identify cultural factors that help influence the continuation of trauma
• Understand the basic history of the Black family in relation to slavery and current day
• Validate and help Black communities acknowledge their pain
