Can the traumas experienced by parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents live on in us – particularly if they are unresolved? Yes!

Historical trauma refers to trauma that is experienced by a specific cultural, racial, or ethnic group over a period of multiple generations. It is related to major events that oppressed particular groups of people, including slavery, the Holocaust, forced migration, and the violent colonization of Indigenous Peoples. Intergenerational trauma occurs when the effects of trauma are passed down between generations. The science of epigenetics has contributed greatly to our understanding of the challenges within families and cultures when the effects of oppression and trauma are passed from one generation to the next.

Please note: The original topic of this RC Webinar has changed, but if you were registered for the prior topic, your registration was automatically transferred to this event.

An important part of how we see ourselves comes from our membership in social groups (gender, race, religion, class, sexual identity, etc.). We talk more today specifically about our racial group identity, but that is relatively recent.

In the past and even still today, many Whites don’t view themselves as even having a race, much less examining how their race makes them who they are. In contrast, from the earliest age, people of color keenly understand they have a race and that it deeply matters in this world.

This webinar will explore how people develop their racial identity. It will focus on White, Black, and Bi-racial groups, looking at models for how racial awareness can grow and change over time. We’ll think about both our own racial development and that of our clients, paying special attention to how this can affect interactions and RICH relationships.

There will be opportunities for self-reflection, discussion with peer RC Trainers and Champions, and examination of a case example or two.
