NYSPA Promoted WebinarsNYSPA Panel: Addressing Racial Trauma (Recorded on 6/7/2020)
Featuring: Maysa Akbar, PhD, Charmain F. Jackman, PhD, Kirkland C. Vaughans, PhD Moderated by Daniel Kaplin, PhD
Recent events are a painful reminder that members of the Black community remain under attack in our society. The murder of George Floyd demonstrates that although time continues to pass, the deep-seated racism and hatred remains an ugly stain for our nation. In this webinar, the presenters will address some of their personal and professional experiences trying to address racial trauma. Dr. Vaughans and Akbar will discuss the psychological impact intergenerational transmission of trauma. In his book, The Psychology of Black Boys and Adolescents, Dr. Vaughans notes that the unresolved generational trauma among African-Americans, and black boys in particular, is a function of an unmourned original collective, historical trauma, as well as the episodic, persistent, terroristic, and oppressive social assault targeting the Black community at later periods in American history. Using her book, Urban Trauma: A Legacy of Racism as a guide, Dr. Akbar will describe the characteristics of how these traumas impact the personality of members of the Black community. Dr. Jackman will emphasize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. She will reflect on the shared responsibility that all members of society have to address violence and racism. She will highlight the critical role that members of White communities have in stepping up, leaning in, and speaking out. After their presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and process their experiences around racial trauma.
