Race-Based Trauma and Collective Liberation: Bridging the Divide through Emotional Intelligence
Details
This cohort is part of a collective learning opportunity focusing on race-based trauma and equity. Please register below if you have attended either of these two cohorts:
- Race Based Trauma (RBT) and BIPOC Communities: Pathways to Coping, Healing, and Succeeding in Racists Spaces OR;
- Race-Based Trauma (RBT) and White People: Expanding Self Awareness and Deepening Your Journey as a Racial Ally
It is highly encouraged that you have attended either session to honor the work that participants have done in these intense and reflective sessions. This collective liberation workshop will build on the individual and group work that has been done in those sessions.
Workshop Description: Regardless of mainstreams invisibility of such fact, People of Color (POC) and White people have made and continue to make monumental contributions to the movement towards race and social justice. Unfortunately, over the past several decades, mainstream grand narratives (direct and indirect dominating and convincing messages) of how POC and White people reacts to racism and/or racist events, have interfered with our collective liberation process and our historical race and social justice joint efforts. Subsequently, the “us versus them” hole has deepened and widened and POC and White people continue to fall into this divisive crater and become stuck! This training presents opportunities for POC and White people, through the lens of emotional intelligence, to come together and develop individual and collective capacities to the address adverse impacts of Race-Based Trauma (RBT), continue engaging in unwavering collective efforts towards race and social justice, and to support each other with the processes for preventing our children, youth, adolescents, adults, and seniors, from falling into such a divisive hole.
Learning Objectives
Understand the concept of Race-Based Trauma and its impact on collective liberation
Engage in collective liberation experiential learning activities and critical conversations
Understand how improving proficiency in Emotional Intelligence can support your growth as a leader for equity, diversity, inclusion, and race and social justice.
This is a 3-session workshop.
STARS credits are offered
