The Black Family and Generational Health

The Black family has been traumatized for generations, from enslavement to modern day incidents of police violence. In this online panel discussion, youth find a space to explore how racial trauma affects the Black family unit, bleeding across generations. Led by Dr. Dwonna Thompson, a licensed therapist, youth have the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to heal and cope through traumatic experiences and extreme social circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic and social injustice. At the same time, the discussion will break through the stigma of mental health counseling.

Dr. Thompson holds degrees in psychology and counseling psychology and is currently a doctor of psychology at Adler University. Presented live via Zoom. Click here to register.
