Navigating Grief: Interventions for Individuals Experiencing Racism and Oppression

Racial trauma and the experiences of systemic oppression have a significant impact on individuals and communities. Migration is a compounded factor, which can separate individuals from their natural processes, communities, culture, and identities. Grief is intertwined with racial trauma in unique ways that can impact healing and heighten experiences of racialized trauma. Join Nicole Perryman to discuss key themes in grief and loss within communities who experience racialized trauma, identify how to assess and understand the impacts of grief, and explore culturally-informed interventions that can help individuals process grief in a healthy way.

Focus:

  • Explore how grief and loss are manifested in communities that experience oppression.
  • Understand the impact of grief and loss and its influence across generations.
  • Identify culturally informed interventions that help individuals process grief in a healthy way.

Objectives:

  • Understand how grief is intertwined in racial trauma, and correlated with experiences of migration, feelings of shame, and reinforced powerlessness.
  • Understand the importance of assessing grief and loss as part of an individuals’ story and their experiences.
  • Exploring culturally informed interventions that help individuals process grief in a healthy way.
