About the Event
As we strive to develop trauma-responsive systems, how do we integrate a historical perspective into our understanding of how trauma affects
children, families, and systems? How do we hold the history of diverse cultural groups honouring both strengths and the ways that the past
may shape responses to providers and intervention?
Research has shown that across multiple service sectors, disparities in service utilization, health status, and treatment outcome are associated with aspects of diversity including race and socio-economic status. Furthermore, experiences of racism and of being treated differently due to one's skin colour, ethnic or cultural background, and country of origin have been linked to negative physical and mental health outcomes.
Given the toxic impact of historical and sociocultural trauma, how within systems do we assess for, acknowledge, and address these experiences? How, as professionals, do we become aware of potential biases that are present in society and in ourselves and work to address them?
This workshop provides an overview of frameworks and core concepts for enhancing equity and diversity-informed practice. Through metaphor, visuals, and clinical vignettes, the workshop offers pathways to help practitioners acknowledge and address the impact of historical trauma when working with children and families. Participants will have an opportunity to apply frameworks to rich case vignettes. They will gain practice identifying and addressing diversity related ports of entry within the case material and integrating historical and sociocultural trauma into their care formulations.
