Trauma can create barriers for individuals to build and maintain relationships within the communities they live, work, and serve. It can impact how people communicate and handle conflict and can hinder their ability to heal.
Can you imagine these going on for generations? Trauma not only impacts the present, but potentially impacts generations to come. There are individuals in our community who have been impacted by cycles and trauma of previous generations, adversely affecting their ability to thrive and keeping them in survival mode.
This event will feature a panel discussion to address how generational cycles and trauma can keep people from thriving when they have resources available to them, and how it can hinder them from forming and maintaining healthy boundaries and relationships.
It’s vital that we begin to heal in community and not in isolation. This event will be a safe and brave space for families as well as an opportunity to listen and learn about the experiences of our neighbors.
We invite individuals with lived experience and their supporters to attend. We highly encourage case managers, social workers, counselors, HR professionals, mentors, mentees, community leaders and supervisors to attend this event to learn about ways to support staff, clients, volunteers, and their peers.
If your organization is interested in providing resources or if you have any questions, please contact Alishea at alishea@wynnenlightened.com.
A light lunch will be served at this event.
