Understanding and Addressing Racial Trauma while supporting Student Safety
Understanding and Addressing Racial Trauma while supporting Student Safety
Presenters
- Dr. Kenneth V. Hardy
Description
Racial trauma is an inescapable by-product of persistent exposure to repressive circumstances that emotionally, psychologically, and physically devastate one’s sense of self while simultaneously depleting one’s strategies for coping. It is a life altering and debilitating experience that affects countless numbers of people of color over multiple generations. Unfortunately, the failure to consider the interrelationship between racial oppression and trauma limits our ability to work effectively with the Youth of Color who live in the midst of sociocultural conditions that are injurious to their psyches and souls. Even when clinical work is trauma informed, it rarely devotes adequate attention to racial oppression and the pervasive trauma associated with it.
This two-part workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of racial trauma and the debilitating hidden wounds associated with it. Special attention will be devoted to highlighting trauma informed interventions and strategies relating to school discipline, student safety and threat assessment.
After attending this workshop participants will be able to:
- Use a lens of racial trauma when evaluating student safety and potential threats.
- Be able to recognize systematic racism that effects responses to student behavior.
- Creating threat assessment teams and procedures that are rooted in equitable practices.
- List strategies for effectively communicating with school administration, teachers and other school staff about racial trauma that may be impacting students’ mental and physical health, experience of school, behaviors in the classroom, and/or academic outcomes.
