In this session, we will review the concepts of displacement and intergenerational trauma and will discuss how historical events (e.g., colonialism, slavery, war, segregation) impact BIPOC mental health and wellbeing. We will also reflect on our own personal family history using poetry and focus on resilience. At the end of the workshop, we will share useful resources for maintaining wellness.
