PACEs Connection's Race & Equity Workgroup will be examining historical trauma in the United States of America and its impact on American society in a series of virtual discussions.  This series will highlight each unique region within the United States and outline 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.  Discussions will 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!
