Discover the impacts of multigenerational trauma and systemic inequities at this talk exploring Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome
Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome is a theory by Dr Joy DeGruy in her seminal work Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing.
It examines how centuries of slavery, followed by systemic racism, have left enduring psychological and behavioural scars. Experts and community leaders will interrogate the theory and discuss actionable strategies for healing, resilience, self-love and well-being.
Discussions will explore pathways to community well-being, foster a culture of self-love, and highlight tools for nurturing emotional health in the face of adversity.
Whether you're a community leader, educator, mental health professional, or simply someone passionate about social justice and healing, this event is a space to learn, connect and be inspired.
This event is part of the year-long commemorations marking 30 years of African Remembrance Day.
