Race-Based Trauma

This course explores race-based trauma—its causes, its effects, and its profound impact on students’ well-being and learning. Educators will examine how racism, discrimination, and systemic inequities contribute to racialized stress and trauma, and how these experiences shape students’ physical, emotional, and academic outcomes. Through research-based strategies and reflective practice, participants will learn how to recognize race-based trauma, respond with culturally affirming support, and create healing-centered environments where all students feel seen, valued, and safe.
