PACEs Connection presents the "Historical Trauma in America" series

PACEs Connection's Race & Equity Workgroup is examining historical trauma in the United States of America and its impact on American society in a series of virtual discussions.  This series, which began in July 2021, highlights each unique region within the United States and outlines how unresolved historical trauma has impacted every aspect of American life and directly shapes the socio-political landscape of today as well as the overall well-being of Americans.  The purpose of these discussion is to make connections between America's history and the current mental health crisis, social determinants of health and the obvious disparities and inequities present in our communities today.  Please join us!

Our Southern session occurred on July 15th.  That session had hundreds in attendance and the discussion was timely and profound.  Please see the series description and schedule for the remaining sessions below:
