COURSE AIM

Entire groups of people have repeatedly suffered from the trauma of oppression, exploitation, and violence throughout history. Such events resonate through time and many still affect marginalised and historically oppressed communities. How do we understand the origin, transmission and impact of this trauma? What tools, strategies and practices can we employ to heal its effects?

This course aims to equip learners with a solid understanding of Intergenerational Trauma, and its theoretical and empirical underpinnings with a focus on its multilevel impact. It will also include various strategies to resist and heal from Intergenerational Trauma at an individual and collective level.

The course is priced at £399 for non-members and £150 for Race Reflections members.
