Death By A thousand Nicks: Healing The Wounds of Racial Trauma - Diagnosis & Treatment (Recorded)

Professor Alvin Poussaint described the cumulative impact of microaggressions as “death by a thousand nicks”. What might seem small and insignificant can become ingrained into the very fiber of one’s being, causing the body to live in a constant state of alert.

This workshop will explore how racialized oppression against the Black community impacts the physical, social, and psychological health of individuals and communities. Participants will explore systemic oppression, evaluate the presence of implicit bias within themselves and their profession and engage in dialogue to consider the application of cultural humility, anti-racist practices and action they can engage in to promote healing, power shifting and racial equity.
