Description
This webinar is part of the Trauma-Informed Approaches Certification for Support Service Providers.
The experience of trauma is unique and diverse and no two people will be impacted in the same way. Just as the experience of trauma is diverse so too are the people who have trauma histories. A person’s identity, experiences, and the way they move through the world are impacted by oppressive systems and racism. Acknowledging that the experience of racism is a traumatic experience, this course centers on the experience of black, indigenous, and persons of color (BiPOC) and how through anti-racist and anti-oppressive trauma-informed approaches housing and service providers can begin to disrupt oppressive practices.
This course will actively encourage participants to explore how their own privilege and power will impact their relationship with the people they work with. Participants will learn skills for evaluating practices and policies and identify ways to provide culturally appropriate services and embed anti-racist practices.
