Registration for this webinar has cl osed.
Workshop Description: This four-hour workshop will look at collective trauma – today and historically – and examine its impact and demands on the field of mental and behavioral health. It will a lso explore the role and responsibility of mental health care providers and how the field can be instrumental in collective healing.
Collective trauma, as the term implies, highlights the psychological reactions to a traumatic event that affect an e ntire collection of p eople. Those groups of people can represen t a community, congregation, cultural entity, country, or entire world. Further, collective trauma may also represent a collective memory of an awful event that happened to that group of people. Obvious examp les come to mind: wars, the Holocaust, the AIDS epidemic, ethnic genocide, large-sca le natural disasters, and one we are curre ntly experiencing glo bally – the coronavirus pandemic.
The field of< /span> mental health is central to collective tra uma and collective healing in that it typically experiences an< /span> increased need for services as well as an understanding of new and different services to meet those needs . Often, the learning of what is needed to help is taking place while the trauma and its impact are still unfolding.
