Self Care: Healing Racist Wounds
Wednesday, February 24, 7:00 p.m.
Beyond the obvious effects of racism is an underlying reality — people affected by the stress of racism show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. Join the Williamsburg Regional Library and Trauma-Informed Specialist Amanda Lynch to learn ways to cope and resources to help with self-healing.

Black Men and Mental Health Virtual Panel Discussion
In the age of Covid-19, how are Black men faring? What’s the state of Black men’s health and wellness? COVID-19 has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives and has disproportionately affected the lives of Black people. COVID-19 and its intersection with racial and historical trauma is a threat to mental health. Even without any of the events of this year, Black mental health has already been suffering and Black people are statistically less likely to seek help. But healing is possible, and it’s important to treat yourself with love and compassion — even as you’re fighting for justice. Join us for a panel discussion focused on transforming trauma into self-healing and resilience led by local therapists and mental health activists.
Watch this event live Friday, February 23, 6:00 p.m. on SCAN’s Facebook page.
