Historical trauma, racism resources from NC workshop

 

At a standing-room-only workshop on historical and racial trauma in Wilmington, NC this week, one of the workshop leaders, Jen Neitzel, Ph.D., executive director of the Educational Equity Institute , shared a list of resources on the topic of racism, trauma, white fragility, inequity, social justice and more.

Neitzel and fellow presenters Justin L. Perry, a therapist in private practice,  and Jaraun “Gemini” Boyd, a client advocate for The Bail Project, spoke and interacted with an audience that included a physician, educators, social workers, parents, state, county, and city employees, and non-profit and faith community leaders. 

The workshop was coordinated by the New Hanover Resiliency Task Force and sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), managed by the Center for Child and Family Health.

At the end of the three-hour workshop most of the crowd lingered, many saying they wanted to continue the conversation on the different types of trauma and their causes and symptoms, the importance of the attachment cycle and how it plays out in different situations, and strategies for working with children and families who experience racial and historical trauma.

Here is Neitzel’s list of recommended resources to learn more about historical and racial trauma:
