How to Talk to Youth about Race and Racial Trauma

Description
Research has indicated that youth experience racism, prejudice, and bias as early as preschool. For many, their interpersonal experiences of racism, prejudice and bias can be quite disorienting, and can influence functioning, particularly for youth who have experienced other traumas. In this webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and feelings related to recent and past events and learn strategies for navigating discussions specific to race, experiences of discrimination, and racial trauma with youth.
