Resource Type: 
Webinar

This 1-hour webinar given by Drs. Jonathan Palmer, Robbin Frazier, and Suzanne Madison discusses how during the pandemic and civil unrest, older adults may be particularly vulnerable to re-traumatization as they re-experience a previous traumatic event, either consciously or unconsciously, as the result of a current racially bias event. This webinar will provide an overview of the historical trauma and resilience of the African American community in Minnesota as well as provide helpful strategies in trauma-informed care with older adults.
