Understanding Racial Trauma

The video discusses racial trauma, a form of stress similar to PTSD, affecting mental and physical health due to racism. It can result from major events like discrimination or microaggressions. Statistics show significant impact on Black, Indigenous, and other minority groups, often compounded by gender or sexual orientation. Symptoms include stress, internalized racism, and PTSD-like effects. The healthcare system's lack of diversity complicates finding understanding professionals. Community efforts, like Black Lives Matter meditations, aim to help. Solutions include raising awareness and fostering solidarity without apologies.
