Join us for an illuminating community conversation titled "Post Traumatic Racism Disorder (PTRD): Looking at the Health Crisis of Racism and How Belonging Can Bring About Health Equity," supported by the NEA Big Read Grant. Dr. Gregory Hutchings, author of "Getting into Good Trouble at School" will lead us in a deep exploration of the intersection between racism and health.
Drawing inspiration from Rebekah Taussig's powerful memoir "Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body," we'll delve into the concept of PTRD and its impact on marginalized communities. Dr. Hutchings will guide us in examining how systemic racism contributes to health disparities and traumatic experiences, leading to long-term health consequences.Through open dialogue and reflection, we'll explore the crucial role of belonging in promoting health equity and resilience. By fostering inclusive environments and empowering communities, we can work towards dismantling systemic barriers and creating pathways to holistic wellness for all.
